Emily appeared anxious and avoided eye contact at the beginning of the session. Her mother reported that Emily has been having frequent nightmares and is reluctant to attend school.

The therapist engaged Emily in play therapy using a sand tray to help her express her feelings about school. Dr. Thompson also guided Emily's mother on how to comfort Emily during her nightmares.
