Workshop Description:

At the tender age of 8, Jimmy lost his father in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. At 22 his world fell apart: Overwhelmed by

OCD, alcohol abuse, and guilt and shame and unable to meet the demands of college, he sought help in an intensive, nature-based treatment program in Hawaii where he engaged in sandplay therapy.

Through didactic presentation, case study and experiential exercises, participants will explore a neuropsychological perspective on how sandplay heals trauma, and take a unique and evocative journey through Jimmy’s sandplay process. Furthermore, the group will discuss developmental trends in the millennial generation who were children at the time of 9/11 and what may be revealed about coming to consciousness in the shadow of modern-day terrorism.

Who should attend: Psychologists, play/sandplay therapists, social workers or mental health professionals interested in a post-graduate level workshop on trauma treatment and sandplay, and those interested in earning training hours toward credentialing as a sandplay therapist (STA/AST).
