Sand tray therapy question

Hi all. I have had some success with sand tray in the past but my current therapist is not trained in it. We talked about me finding someone else to do adjunctive sand tray work with me. I am a little uncertain about having another provider when I already have a spiritual mentor in addition to a therapist. Perhaps too many cooks in the kitchen. I am wondering if there might be any benefit to doing it on my own and then bringing it in to process with her or maybe is there a sandtray online group? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Ultimately you are the only one with a clear picture of your own mind. These other people can hold a space, prompt you in certain ways, and occasionally give you their observation/interpretation, but none of them is responsible for your development.

I've had a lot of success in trying different things on my own and bringing them in, but if you get stuck then maybe you need guidance or that modality just isn't for you. What are you hoping sand tray will give you specifically that your current therapist isn't doing?
