Our eye “photographs” the outside world continuously. Therefore, there are many visual images within us – we often turn to some, forget about others.
Our eye “photographs” the outside world continuously. Therefore, there are many visual images within us – we often turn to some, forget about others. But at the sight of a similar picture, the archival “photo” suddenly pops up from memory. Meeting with him, which gives birth to either surprise or acute sadness, turns out to be a meeting with oneself. Metaphorical cards help to organize this meeting for psychologists of different directions – from psychoanalysis to coaching. Choosing this or that picture from the deck, talking about it, a person does not speak about himself directly and still analyzes his experiences and difficulties. Psychologists Galina Katz and Ekaterina Mukhamatulina explain how to use this handy tool and support the theory with examples from therapeutic practice.
