Sandtray Therapy
Report
We walk through life dragging suitcases filled with the hidden pains of our life. They contain our vulnerabilities, those events that were hard to deal with and that we believe we should "get over". We believe they are our burden to carry and dispose of, plus they are old, they happened so long ago that they should not be bothering us; they are "no big deal".
