Oh, yes - both times T had me do Sand Tray, I was really embarrassed. But I felt I should give it a try. It had astounding results. Both of those sessions became deeply emotional and uncovered some stuff for me and helped T understand more about me.

But, when she brought out dolls last week, I tried to do it but I just couldn't. I wanted to make it work and that's why I thought I should try something like that at home. I would feel less embarrassed and if it worked, I could show it to T.

The cool thing, though, is that the figurines are very dramatic and I can feel their 'essence'. It makes it more 'real' than the cotton non-expressive dolls she had.

The different aspects of my persona represented by these figurines have already had some conversations with each other. I was blown away by an insight that came through that i'm sure could never have happened if I just 'thought about' my situation.
