Why become a RSP?
Sandplay is based on Jungian psychology, eastern mindfulness practices and the teachings of Dora Kalff. It possesses an unusual and almost magical ability to access preverbal trauma, and is a modality that deepens your work as a play therapist. It is also a rare, much sought after specialty.
All trainings in this series will give the participant hours towards their RPT, their RSP AND their required state licensure hours…A real bang for the buck!
