November 2025 Week 1

Happy November, Roomie!

It's that time of year again ~ it's getting colder & everyone's busy wrapping up their final projects, events, & goals of the 2025 year.

I wanted to touch on a basic concept I share & teach about often - 

Sandtray Themes . . . however, spice it up a little.

Well be spending the next month discussing, "How Trauma Themes Show Up in the Sandtray," in greater depth.

Have you ever noticed how a client’s tray seems to tell the same story over + over, even when miniatures are switched up? < -- That’s the power of THEMES!

Watch this week's training video below.

And also, don’t forget to view the “5 Ways Trauma Shows Up in Sandtray” handout located just below the training video! 

The biggest takeaway for this week is = Themes are NOT for the client, themes are for US!

And we will spend the rest of the month providing you with guidance & resources to best understand these tricky themes!

So stay tuned,

Amy & SSI Team

P.S. Don’t forget tools such as the handy Wizard Documentation Trackers for tracking & noticing trauma themes!!
