From the author:
Hello my little girl!
I know for sure that in each of us lives that same little girl who knows how to dream, who knows what she feels, who does not hide and is not ashamed. She doesn’t yet have strict social boundaries and she’s just happy.
I really want this deck to help you learn to LIVE again, and, by and large, just remember and return to yourself. Return to yourself. After all, in childhood we know exactly how we want. Over time, we lose something, we remove something. And I really believe that this deck will help you go through all these points and put yourself back together, regain yourself.
I know how it works, because I have walked this path myself.
Let this tool help you, and I will always stay in touch.
With love and care for your feelings!

How this deck was born
In my practice, I work a lot with adult girls who have not completed separation. And very often these are adult women who do not know how to identify and express their emotions.
The most common homework that I give to my clients at the first consultation is to keep a diary of emotions.
Initially, the idea of the deck was as an image of emotions and feelings.
The prototype was my daughter, from whom I myself studied and am learning to express emotions.
When most of the cards were drawn, I realized that this is more than just about how to teach how to show emotions. This deck is for me: about returning to our little girl, about the fact that we just need to remember what we have forgotten.
Despite the fact that when creating the pictures, meanings and certain feelings and emotions were used, none of these cards have no fixed meanings.nbsp;nbsp;There is no “right” or “wrong” meaning in these cards. Focus on yourself and what you feel and let them help you with this.
