Module for PsyCards “It’s in me”
The “It’s in me” deck of metaphorical cards is designed for working with women and allows you to:
• clearly formulate the client’s request and set the goal of therapy;
• move the needle in solving the problem;
• analyze and indicate the direction in working with psychosomatic disorders;
• track and treat destructive thoughts and actions;
• work with internal conflicts and harmonize interactions between subpersonalities.
Also, the deck is easily combined with any MAC and can be used with classic standard techniques used when working with associative metaphorical cards.< br>
EXERCISE.nbsp; FIRST CONSULTATION
This exercise helps to formulate a request and determine the goal of therapy.
The client is asked to openly choose the “torso” card, answering the questions: “What is happening inside me? What do I feel?” Next, they also openly offer to choose “legs” that describe the state of affairs in a given period of life: “How am I standing on my feet now?”
Afterwards, the client selects from the “heads” the answer to the question: “What do I think about this? What are my thoughts about this situation? The metaphorical portrait of a person in a problematic situation thus constructed is then discussed with a psychologist and the necessary information is clarified.
The next action is the formation – also openly – of the desired image of oneself after solving this problem, which is analyzed and changes are checked for environmental friendliness. Next, between these portraits, the image that awaits a person in the future, if he does not take any action, is collected openly and discussed. Sometimes this image motivates the client to take action, and sometimes it shows that nothing bad will happen, and gives a feeling of calm regarding the current situation.
Next, the steps to achieve the desired image are determined and therapy is planned.
EXERCISE.nbsp;WORKING WITH PSYCHOSOMATICS
Helps to study the psychological causes of the symptom and outline the path to getting rid of the psychosomatic disorder.nbsp;The client is asked to find among the open cards an image in the area of the body where the symptom manifests itself, an object that metaphorically reflects sensations in the body. Next, with the help of questions, the connection between this metaphorical image and the client’s life situation is analyzed. Then you are asked to find a picture of what preceded the appearance of this symptom. Since illness is a powerful signal, it is usually preceded by another harbinger of problems in a person’s emotional sphere. This is its metaphorical meaning that they are asking to find. In this way, we come to the conclusion that the psyche could not cope with it and “turned on the help” of the body. Next, the steps of therapy are determined to solve the problem that was a harbinger of the symptom.
EXAMPLE OF WORK #1
The client has a pain in his leg. He selects an open picture where a weight is tied to his legs. During the discussion, it turns out that the client experiences heaviness in the leg, stiffness, and inability to move. Let’s translate this metaphor into what happens in the client’s real life situation: “What or who is putting pressure on you? Who or nbsp; what chained you and what are you chained to in your life?” etc.nbsp;Next you are asked to choose what preceded the appearance of pain in the leg: “When your leg didn’t bother you, what happened to you emotionally? What feelings and thoughts did you experience before the symptom appeared?
The client chooses the picture “torso”, where there are many hands, explaining this state by the fact that she grabbed onto everything and did not succeed in anything.nbsp;This state could be “solved” with the help of “stopping”, “stiffness” weights.”
Next, we discuss with the client in more detail what exactly he tried to do during that period, what did not work and why. Therapy begins with solving exactly that condition, putting everything on the “shelves”, setting goals, removing fears and finding resources.
EXAMPLE OF WORK #2
The client complains of abdominal pain. Selects a card with a spider in its body. Describes this state as if there is a lump inside that is devouring him from the inside. Next, we ask you to select a map of what the person experienced in his life before the symptom appeared. The client says that it was such a longing in the heart, the same cobweb when the marriage broke up. Next, the work is based on feelings about divorce, complexes, fears, attitudes, forecasts and scenarios related to personal relationships.
