Sandtray work allows children (and adults) the ground for important projective work: the ability to resolve conflicts, explore their sense of self and process confusing or overwhelming feelings in an accessible and non- threatening way. The beauty of the Gestalt and child centered therapeutic relationship is in meeting children where they are. Without judgment, script or agenda. Evolve with them! Approaching your relationship to a child or teen with an open heart and a curious mind is the first step in the important “3C’s: Curiosity, Compassion and Connection.” Go ahead, lean in and see what comes up. #gestalttherapy #gestaltplaytherapy #playtherapy

If you feel that your day is a series of arguments and power struggles with your children, it’s time to look at how you might be inviting them. Try shifting your communication style to a more clear and direct exchange- don’t forget to use warmth and humor, and mind your P’s and Q’s☺️

@glennondoyle Speaking the truth per usual. Progress is not always linear. Sometimes, we grow in fits and starts. Take a deep breath. Rest, and begin again.

Read that again. Often, we’re focused on our partners faults, shortcomings and quirks and lose awareness of our own projections, reactions and deflections. If we want to see real and lasting change in our partnerships, we have to be willing to begin with ourselves. Marriage isn’t 50/50 it’s 100/100. It can be daunting to know where to begin. If you’re not sure, try asking yourself: “What is it like to be partnered with me?”

It can feel incredibly vulnerable to set a boundary around your life and your own needs, and often it’s easier to “go with the flow.” On the flip side, this habit of saying no to ourselves can leave us feeling depleted, resentful and lonely. Happiness (or contentment) can be found within a healthy boundary! Start looking for tiny ways to put a boundary around your needs. If “No,” feels too strong at first, start slower:

With so many of us young and old spending more and more time on the internet...this is a powerfully simple reminder that there are people behind the posts. Practice kindness. Spread joy. Thanks, @bradmontague for the delightful animation.
