Through hands-on activities like sandtray play, collage, drawing, movement, writing, poetry, costume play, and modeling, participants will explore multisensory ways to deepen emotional awareness. Clinicians will gain practical tools to enhance attunement, support polyvagal safety, and expand clients’ capacity to face life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
