The group offer is a non-verbal method for processing traumatic experiences. Expressive sandwork aims to activate psychological self-healing powers. The method is particularly suitable for people who were traumatized at an early age and find it difficult to express their inner life. By creating experiences in the sand, positive play memories can be activated that promote control, self-efficacy and the strengthening of resilience. In practice, inner emotional experiences are depicted and processed with the help of a sandbox, various materials and play figures.
Up to twelve children between the ages of 6 and 13 can take part in a project. Each session comprises twelve consecutive weekly appointments.
