3 ways to help you understand the mental sandbox works

Psychological sandbox works are the external manifestation of the unconsciousness and consciousness of the visitors. It is an effective way for the psychological counselor to understand the real world of the visitor. Therefore, the understanding of the psychological sandbox works is very important. After the mental sandbox consultants have mastered the symbolic meaning of each sand tool, there is not much problem in understanding the psychological sandbox works of the visitors. However, in order to better understand the psychological sand table works, there are the following points that need to be paid attention to.

First, the comprehensiveness of understanding

The initial mental sand table consultants often pay attention to the last work of the visitors, analyzing the psychological state of the visitors through scenes and sand. But this is not accurate, it is also one-sided, blunt. Because mental sandbox therapy is a process, and any one of them is a reflection of the unconsciousness and consciousness of the visitors, whether it is hesitation when choosing the sand, or the work of changing the sandbox, or the language and body movements, etc. They are all able to express the inner world of the visitors, so we must understand the inner world of the visitors from many aspects.

Second, the integrity of understanding

Just as the individual notes can't hear the rhythm, the scattered words can't be the same. The separate analysis of the symbolic meaning of the sand in the psychological sandbox works is also taken out of context. For example, the visitor puts a tower in the work. The tower is the target direction in the symbol theory and the establishment of the self. But if the corpse is filled with land around the tower, or if it is buried halfway by the sand, the meaning of the tower will definitely change. Therefore, do not look at the problem in isolation, but also consider the additional meaning that the mind may contain.

Third, the flexibility of understanding

The counselors of the beginners' psychology sandbox often follow the psychoanalytic, analytical psychology, and projection principles to understand the psychological sandbox works step by step. However, in reality, the mind often varies from person to person, which requires the consultant to use it flexibly. In the sense of space, the left represents the past, and the right represents the future, but if the left side of the visitor represents the present life, what is the right side? Therefore, the symbol of sand and the interpretation of space should be used flexibly.

These three aspects are not a small challenge for psychological counselors who are not exposed to mental sandboxing for a long time.
