Synopsis: A powerful, multimodal approach for trauma healing. Sandtray therapy offers a powerful symbol, image, and metaphor-based pathway to healing, while EMDR therapy activates information processing to integrate and assimilate traumagenic memories. Both are powerful approaches for working with clients suffering from complex trauma, and when combined, EMDR-sandtray-based therapy offers multiple roads into the traumatogenic memory networks that may not be accessible otherwise, enhancing the delicate work of healing the legacy of complex trauma. This book introduces a multimodal approach to trauma healing that integrates principles from various methodologies. With a wealth of resources, case examples, hands-on strategies, and moment-to-moment decision-making markers, it is a practical and comprehensive guide for EMDR and sandtray clinicians, experts and novices alike. Various delivery formats for this therapy are explored, including individual, group, family, and dyadic modalities, thus offering robust pathways for healing.
