I understand her reflection/mirroring/tracking etc., but if I were her client, I’d want her to be quiet and let me be in my own space while creating the tableaux.
Tracking is one thing, but she's making interpretations like "that surprised you" or "you wanted to make sure that this happened" that are inappropriate for her to project. Not a lot of "it looks like", "it appears", or "it seems like", instead replaced by her making concrete assumptions. Ineffective at best and detrimental to the quality of session at worst. In fact, the "you're the kind of person that doesn't quit until things are the way you want them to be" is a HUGELY inappropriate jump to make and place in his mouth. The more I watch, the more this stresses me out.
This is not working at all. She speaks FOR the child most of the time. There is no chance for the kid to take initiative and start revealing his inner feelings with her both abstractly or directly. Most of the time she is suggestiv yet still completely wrong about an interpretation! Thanks anyway! I am yet looking for a demonstration where I can truely observe a sensitive, congruent and empathetic therapist...

Sand play and sand tray therapy are different. This definitely seems sand tray, and so her verbalizations are appropriate.
