When I was listening to the news this morning they talked about Syrian refugees, children in particular. Apart from the tragedy they are facing every day,there is a problem for their future mental health. Psychologists say that many of them will develop mental health problems due to what they have lived and some are still living. The problems would be agressiveness,PTDS and depression. Sounds familiar? Sandor throught and through, and Arya is walking the same path. What I wonder is why some people understand Arya's reactions but are unable to see how much she and her "road movie" companion have in common while travelling across the Riverlands. It can't be more obvious that looking at each other for them must be like looking at oneself in the mirror fifteen years apart.He is what she will become if nobody puts a remedy to what she is enduring,they even have a gentle nature hidden below the hard shell they show to the world although both are driven by revenge. But they are both capable of loving and this is what they must keep if they don't want to become irredimable.

Very well said! Arya and Sandor's relationship to one another is important by itself...him showing her how to give "mercy," and her leaving him for dead being an act or revenge or mercy? One thing is for sure, when they part, she loses even more of herself to revenge.
However, I don't how this would happen exactly, but I see Sandor as being the one to help Sansa and Arya connect with each other again. He was the traumatized child soldier driven by desire for revenge. He was the idealistic child who had his dreams almost snuffed out (but not quite!). He's half and half, like his poor face, and he can relate to them both. I could see him being the link that brings these two sides of the same coin together again.
