Working with Therapeutic Cards

Working with therapeutic cards calls for the use of creative imagination and developing communications skills – either inter-personal or inner-personal.

Their power lies in their ability to tap into the unconscious and possibly bring to the surface buried feelings and emotions

The cards are successfully used as a counselling tool – particularly in those cases when the expression of one's emotion can be challenging.

By engaging with the content of the cards, one can embark on a profound journey into their thoughts and emotions. This leads to discovering new aspects of the self that may not have been familiar or accepted until now, laying the basis for thought-changing processes.

Opening up any deck of Therapeutic cards makes for a fantastic ice-breaker in a room full of strangers. According to one of their creators, "These cards will get people talking in no time - they won't be strangers for long".

Other ways the cards can be used range from light-hearted story-telling to corporate communication.

They can also be used as a game of solitaire or a springboard for journaling or meditation. Their primary focus is on introducing a practice of self-exploration, a journey for sharing, discovering and creating.

This workshop is presented by Edna Dvir in collaboration with Transformation Paths
