Dr. Freedle’s presentation “The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics™, Sandplay® and Traumatic Grief: A Case Presentation Illustrating Somatosensory Pathways to Transformative Healing” highlighted a case study of 13-year-old Olivia. Olivia’s sandplay therapy process illustrated how repetitive, somatosensory engagement facilitates self-regulation, neural integration, and transformative healing in the wake of traumatic grief.
Sandplay is a non-verbal method of psychotherapy with roots in play therapy, Jungian depth psychology and eastern traditions. Sandplay is one of many mind-body therapies offered at Pacific Quest. Others include horticultural therapy, art therapy, and yoga. These methods activate somatosensory pathways essential to healing from trauma.
Pacific Quest is commencing the site certification process in Dr. Perry’s Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) in the coming months. NMT certification is part of Pacific Quest’s commitment to trauma-informed, evidenced-based practices. The certification team will be lead by Dr. Freedle, who is a board-certified pediatric neuropsychologist and NMT trainer.
