Overview
The Therapy cards were created to aid in the therapeutic process as a non directive tool and help both clients and therapists go through a process of thought and reflections while giving more meaning to the experiences they are going through.
Therapy cards is a tool that can be used at any phase of the therapeutic journey and help to create a safe space where clients can explore their
feelings and help them reflect on the abilities they possess to deal with the challenges and difficult times in their lives. The cards can also be used to
unblock the therapeutic process when it reaches an impasse.
The images on the front of the cards can help clients connect with the present moment, while the questions at the back can serve to help clients
reflect, analyse and critically evaluate their feelings, behaviours and thoughts.

- intelligence which is crucial for empathy
- externalize painful and other sensitive experiences
- learn how to make healthier choices
- understand the outcome of their actions
- develop coping strategies and manage stress
