The deck contains 70 cards, which are an excellent tool for self-therapy. They can be used to help oneself in problematic situations, to train the skill of awareness, the ability to notice and accumulate positive experiences of everyday life that give strength.
IAC “Metaphorical quotes” help develop the quality of mediation (i.e. a person’s ability to critically evaluate oneself and independently cope with internal problems), which contributes to the formation of a harmoniously organized personality. They have proven themselves in working with life scenarios and attitudes, and can be used in coaching sessions and transformation games.
In 2018, a section appeared on the Macards Instagram that quickly won the hearts of our subscribers – #macards_metaphor_essence. For people, it has become more than just an entertaining picture of the day. Photos and quotes evoked a special sensual response from subscribers, lifted their spirits, and helped them look at their lives from a new perspective. Among the metaphorical statements were quotes from writers, thinkers, and great psychologists. But the bulk of the sayings we overheard among the people, from friends or colleagues. That is why they touched our readers – because in many situations described in the quotes, people recognized themselves. When the number of posts exceeded 50, we decided to combine and publish them in the “Metaphorical Quotes” deck (so that important thoughts are always at hand).
Working with any metaphorical cards is based on the mechanism of projection (this is when a person mistakenly perceives what is happening internally as something happening from outside). Photos and quotes “Metaphorical quotes” evoke spontaneous associations in people, which help to see unconscious or unacceptable thoughts, feelings, motives, character traits that are attributed to someone or something.
To increase the effectiveness of self-work with thinking, we recommend combining Metaphorical Quotes deck with writing practices. Writing allows us to develop reflection (the movement of thinking in which “we observe what is happening in ourselves”), embodies (that is, makes material, real) our thoughts and ideas.
