About the deck

A deck about what a person can lean on right now, and about the hint that arrives just in time.

The deck holds 128 metaphorical associative cards and comes in two halves: 64 inspiration images drawn by hand with a marker, and 64 cards carrying advice.

An inspiration image works gently, through image and association; it opens up what a person feels but cannot yet put into words. A card with advice works the other way, more directly: it hands you a wording you can already act on today.

Together they cover both sides of any question, because what a person usually lacks is not so much the knowledge of what to do as the ground from which the doing becomes possible.

The deck works as a predictive, deepening, resource and supporting tool in counseling, coaching and psychological transformation games.

Who it is for: psychologists, psychotherapists, art therapists, coaches, trainers, consultants, group and transformation game facilitators, and anyone working on their own personal growth.

What you can do with the “Tips & Resources” deck

see what deserves attention on the way to the goal
spot resources a person already has and is not using
get the right advice at the right time, and see what is worth listening to
understand what to bet on first
uncover hidden possibilities that went unnoticed before
tell a genuine source of support from a familiar way of soothing yourself
see which resource a person is used to taking from outside, though it is there inside
recognize which resource is already drained and needs recovery rather than more use
notice resistance to a piece of advice — it is exactly where the growth is
phrase the next step so that it rests on strength rather than on willpower

Questions to ask the deck

These are the questions the work starts from. Choose one — the one that resonates most strongly — and stay with it, because a single session opens up one question well and no more.
