September 2025 Week 1

Fall season is officially weeks away (queue happy dance!) and we’re already feeling the nice chill weather here in Arkansas, a literal relief after the never-ending heat waves!!

So let’s get into this month’s fresh new topic and content: 

This training is called “Sandtray Across the Spectrum: Helping Clients with Differing Developmental Needs” and I’ve got all the goodies for you to dive into throughout the next couple of weeks, so exciting!!

View my training video below.

I pulled a couple of the Neuroscience graphics used in my Powerpoint to share with you, in case you wanted to save/download/print out for reference and/or studying! 

Now I mention Stephen Porges quite a bit in my video, the research and studies he’s accomplished on the Polyvagal Theory is super helpful and really amazing information! 

I definitely recommend checking his article out, “What is Polyvagal Theory?” - it’s broken down into 3 key principles, which makes it easier to understand with informative diagrams AND a Youtube video! 

Alright, you have your homework for this week:

.) Watch my training video

.) Study the Neuroscience graphics to get familiar and/or refresh your memory of the basics 

.) Read the “What is Polyvagal Theory” article and/or watch the Youtube video attached to it

Next week, we’ll start taking a closer look into the techniques and tips to use in the Sandtray!

Until then, keep up the good work!!
