Each card invites clients to reflect on their past, present, and future paths, helping them navigate through complex emotions, relationships, and life stages. Whether working through career decisions, relationship dilemmas, or personal growth, the Roads set fosters deep introspection and provides a visual language for clients to communicate their experiences and aspirations.
The cards can be used in a variety of therapeutic contexts, from individual sessions to group work, and are particularly effective for helping clients process life transitions, uncertainty, and change. The metaphors of roads, forks, and destinations serve as a reminder that each decision is part of a greater journey, empowering clients to take ownership of their path and make choices aligned with their values and goals.
With its engaging and thoughtful design, Roads encourages creativity and open dialogue, making it an indispensable tool for therapists seeking to facilitate meaningful conversations with their clients.
Single Cards
Cards can be used separately as individual stimuli representing situations or periods in the client's life.
For example, the therapist asks the client or the group members: “Choose a card that can portray the ‘career path’ lying ahead of you.” On the basis of this visual representation of the situation, the client can describe the feelings and thoughts that arise while choosing and observing the card. The client is encouraged to think about internal and external factors, as well as people in the environment that may influence the choice.
Joining Cards
Cards can be joined to one another to create a longer image of a road, representing a process in the client's life.
For example, the therapist asks the client: “Choose a card that depicts your life journey before you got sick. Put it next to a card describing the period of hospitalisation and then add a card describing the path you are taking today.” As the client builds a road composed of three different paths (cards); the process of dealing with the illness is represented visually as well as thematically. This road represents her/his life journey in the given periods and can serve as a basis for further observation, processing and interventions in future therapeutic sessions.
"A road can take you far away,
Or lead you deep inside.
Partly it is clear,
At times blurred.
Explore it. Build it. Embrace it.
May each step you take pave the right
journey for you…"
