“It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried. It began to occur to me that unless I had a need to demonstrate my own cleverness and learning, I would do better to rely upon the client for the direction of movement in the process.” – Carl Rogers​​

​

CBT and DBT are evidence based approaches, which along with Person-Centered Therapy are foundational modern therapies for treating mood disorders and trauma focusing on bringing words and thoughts in balance with feelings to manage behavior.

​

TFCBT is an evidence based treatment of children who are most often sexually abused children and or in grief and employs the family closely in the healing process. 

​

REMEMBER THAT FOR CHILDREN PLAY IS LANGUAGE AND WITH

TRAUMA FOR ANY AGE THERE OFTEN ARE NO WORDS

​

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk says that "trauma resolution pendulates between states of exploration and safety, between language and body, between remembering the past and feeling alive in the present."

​

Note that the practice of sandplay is grounded in Jungian psychology, Margaret Lowenfeld's World Technique and Tibetan Buddhist Wisdom.

​

Fellow Denver, Colorado Sandplay Practitioner Ruth Wein uses

both EMDR  and sandplay to address trauma with children.  Certified Ft. Collins, Colorado Sandplay Therapist, Shannon Yockey employs EMDR in her trauma work with teens and adults.

Karby Allington-Goldfain, yet another fellow sandplay therapist in Englewood, Colorado is also certified in EMDR and Sandplay.

 

These methods are cited as therapies to be considered in the treatment of trauma by Dr. Bessel A. van der Kolk.cites the sequential-neuro development work of Dr. Lorraine Freedle, PhD. a prominent sandplay therapist in Hawaii and a neuropsychologist, whom I have studied with in an intensive workshop in Hawaii, along with Dr. Gita Morena, PhD, a professor and published author at the University of California in transpersonal psychology and sandplay.  I have had lengthy consultative supervision with each, in addition to training and/or consultative supervision with a range of other prominent sandplay therapists at local, national and international events.  Note that the practice of sandplay is grounded in Jungian psychology, Margaret Lowenfeld's World Technique and Tibetan Buddhist Wisdom.  Laurel Howe is  a prominent leader both in Jungian Analytical Circles and Sandplay in Lakewood, Colorado, known for her work with children and adults, who has inspired me during my lengthy sandplay process work with her and in an earlier analyst for about a year with Denver Jungian Analyst Laurel Dodson, who integrated family systems work of Virginia Satir with Jungian psycholgy.   Prior to meeting her I was very involved for two years obtaining marriage and family therapy training and supervision with Dr. Jan Raynak, MD  and Dr. Suzanne Pope, PhD at the Colorado Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy in Boulder, CO.
