In sand tray therapy, the miniatures children choose to represent their parents often reveal more about those relationships than anything said aloud. Across hundreds of sessions, three miniatures appear most frequently: simple colorful people figures (often used to show distance or neutrality), bride and groom figures (frequently chosen to represent idealized or performative parenting), and a figure hunched over a phone (the most heartbreaking and most common of all).
