(ORDO NEWS) — In 1983, the German psychotherapist Moritz Egetmeyer began using metaphorical image cards in his work with patients.
So he found a great tool to communicate with the subconscious of people, treating various psychological problems in a gentle, protected, natural and fun way.
The best program for working with metaphorical maps allows you to interpret the results . In psychological practice, metaphorical cards are used to solve the most difficult problems, which we will discuss below.
Where are metaphors used?
- Work with the unconscious
- Sleep analysis
- Emotional disorders
- Psychosomatic problems
- Interpersonal conflicts
- Relationships at work
- Family crises
- Life scenarios
- Reconstruction of traumatic situations
- Childhood trauma
- Fears and phobias
- Search for embedded resources and much more
Scientific approach
The main principles of work are the development of intuition, creativity, self-knowledge and frank presentation without evaluation.
Tools are tailored to users, not the other way around. There is no dogmatic coercion here, only a free playful invitation. Therefore, this tool includes both an image and a word, as well as two poles – emotional and cognitive.
Images that appeal to feelings and intuitions can often be associated with the presence of the “intellectual filter” barrier that we have. Words, on the other hand, primarily appeal to conscience and expressions of analytical and natural thinking.
Thus, mapping can be adapted as a combination of cognitive and visual stimuli, simultaneously affecting both the left hemisphere of the brain (analytical logical thinking) and the right hemisphere (emotions, intuition).
Ways to work with metaphorical cards
The therapist can only ask leading questions and carefully manage the development of thinking in a constructive way. The client himself makes the interpretation of the image, the speed of what is happening in his soul.
There are several ways to work with maps
One of them: In closed cards, select a card and answer each question.
1- What is the real cause of my problem?
2- What can I do to improve, change my situation?
3- Who can help me?
You can simply pull out the “Card of the Day” from any block and ask a question. For example: “What do I need to get rid of in order to move forward?” or “What resource do I need most right now?”
Thus, in working with cards, the power of spontaneous dialogue between the two hemispheres of the brain is turned on: thanks to the joint work of these opposite principles, intuition awakens and an excellent solution is born.
