First, psychological counseling has been troubled for a long time, because China people can't accept psychological counseling. They think that only "sick" people can do psychological counseling, and sand table games can help visitors get self-psychological comfort in the initial counseling, that is, they come to play games instead of treating diseases. In short, this technology can reduce people's resistance.
Secondly, another problem of psychological counseling is language communication. Counselors and visitors just sit there and chat, without material media. It takes time to attract visitors' attention. The sand table is tangible and colorful, which will immediately arouse the curiosity of visitors and make them willing to have psychological counseling.
Thirdly, in the process of adolescent psychological counseling, some children can't express their inner feelings in words, and they are often pulled by their parents. They have great resistance and are unwilling to cooperate with counselors. It is really difficult to open their hearts only by words. It is easier to break their psychological defense by using sand table games. They can play games quietly, and they will inadvertently tell their true feelings to psychological counselors.
