Rooted in connection. Inspired by growth.
Red Couch Learning™ brings together Melanie Taylor, LPC-S, and Dr. Tessa Hastings to create practical, creative resources for therapists.
Our tools invite curiosity, support meaningful conversations, and give clients different ways to express and understand their experiences.
OUR FIRST PRODUCT
Safety to Self™ - A Self-developmental Sand Tray Directive Deck
Sometimes clients need a place to begin when the words aren’t there yet.
Safety to Self offers sand tray directives that invite clients to explore safety, feelings, identity, relationships, and their next steps. It gives therapists a starting point while leaving room for the client’s own meaning to emerge.
An invitation to explore, with curiosity rather than interpretation.
From building safety to knowing yourself.
The deck explores seven areas:
Safety & Regulation
Emotional Expression
Identity & Self
Parts & Inner Child
Relationships & Boundaries
Integration & Movement
Embodied Knowing
Use the directives to open exploration, support reflection, and return to important themes as the work develops. Choose prompts based on the client’s readiness and your clinical judgment.
Created by Melanie Taylor and Dr. Tessa Hastings.
