Day 7 of 7 Student #4 for Sand Tray Therapy Class

This is day 7 of seven of my extended sand tray for sand tray therapy class.

This sand tray was created on June 18th. For me it represents happiness, comfort, and security.

In the front of the sand tray you see 4 overturned figures. This represents my being able to get passed the very rough times of my sister being in the hospital, my grandfathers passing, breaking up with my girlfriend, and stress of regular day life.

The blue figure up near the middle top represents me. I am happy and confident that things are going well, and destined to be ok. Around me once again is my support system. The decisions i have made have been for the right reasons. The only things I can control are what I should really be worried about in a sense. The things I do not have control over should not make me feel helpless and sad. I can only do so much, and this tray really incorporates that feeling of confidence and reality. OUt of all bad things do come some good. I am doing well in graduate school, I have a great job, a great group of friends, and a new nephew. Life is good.
