Abstract

Over one million survivors have lived more than 25 years after receiving a cancer diagnosis. Researchers proposed employing sandtray therapy as an effective means of exploring the lived experience of cancer patients, survivors, and family members. Three of five support group members participated in the research study. Sandtray therapy provided the participants with the power to increase their understanding about themselves, in addition to experiencing the resilience of achieving wellness. Participants used sandtrays to depict their lived experience, discover essential phenomena, and explore resilience.
