Ditch the imposter syndrome and start feeling confident with sandtray!

You find yourself questioning how to even start the session, let alone what you should say and when. And all the miniatures and symbols in the tray - what does it all mean? How do you know you're really helping your clients? That they're making progress?  You wish you had a roadmap. 


You don't know if you should take on another training and modality or if it is even worth it, but you keep hearing how healing and powerful sandtray can be.
