In addition to regular conversational therapy, Alyce is experienced in Sand Tray therapy, an expressive form of processing. Sand tray therapy invites you to take an internal experience and create a representation of it in a tray of sand using miniature objects. With the internal experience now available to view, there is a greater ability to gain new insights, resolve conflicts and view different perspectives. It is powerful work.
Sand Tray therapy is an expressive therapy involving quietly creating a sand tray utilizing parts of the brain that formed earlier in development, the brain stem and limbic areas. Our culture relies so heavily on our cerebral cortex functioning, we can miss valuable insights gained through utilizing other parts of the brain. When sand trays are processed in this form of counseling the experience is pulled into the cortex, creating a whole brained experience.
