About the deck

A deck about the scripts life runs on by itself, until a person makes them visible.

The deck holds 128 metaphorical associative cards: 64 life scenarios and 64 attitudes, separated by color for ease of work.

A scenario is the way a story keeps repeating: the same relationship with different people, the same income ceiling in different jobs, the same ending to different ventures. An attitude is the short sentence that serves this scenario and explains it.

Scenarios rarely belong to the person themselves; most often they come from parents and from the family line and keep running on inertia, shaping strategies of thinking and the quality of life as a whole.

The deck works as a diagnostic, clarifying, transformational, corrective, coaching and supporting tool in counseling, coaching and psychological transformation games.

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

What you can do with the “Life Scenarios, Patterns & Attitudes” deck

identify behavior patterns that have been repeating for years
understand how scenarios and attitudes shape the quality of life
see the losing strategies a person takes for their own character
realize how parents’ scenarios and childhood attitudes are still working today
understand what is worth working on and what it is time to be rid of
uncover what a person gave no weight to while it was shaping their choices
see which obstacles need removing on the way to the goal
notice where the family story ends and one’s own choice begins
understand what task the scenario was solving at the moment it appeared
state how the new line of life sounds — the one that starts with this person

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 works one scenario through well and no more.

Which scenario or attitude is the biggest obstacle in my life right now?
What do I need to realize in my question, and change?
Which scenarios from childhood keep me from my goal?
What do I need to attend to in order to grow and succeed?
Which patterns do I need to remove to get what I want?
What is it timely to work through for my personal growth?
Which three attitudes do I need to change for the quality of my life to improve?
Which story repeats itself for me again and again?
Whose scenario am I living instead of my own?
What in my life goes exactly the way it went for my parents?
Which task was this scenario solving when it appeared?
How does my own line sound — the one that begins with me?
