Abstract
Gestalt therapy is a dynamic, relational therapy emphasizing embodiment, curiosity, and awareness. This article explores the application of sandtray therapy through a Gestalt therapy framework. Centered around the theoretical principles of embodiment, curiosity, and awareness, this article highlights the importance of the therapeutic use of self and the person-of-the-sandtray-therapist (POST). Special consideration is given to the embodied process as a foundational element for facilitating the Gestalt therapy and Gestalt sandtray process. Gestalt sandtray principles are applied through a case study to illustrate the process, the experience of the therapist (POST), and the builder's reaction.
