Have you experienced any of these?  "I have difficulty reading my client." "My client is struggling with expressing what he feels and I want to help him without making him feel intimidated or pressured." "I know that there is a wealth of feelings and emotions inside my client's psyche, but the only thing I get is one-word answers or some shoulder-shrugging. What else to do?" If so, you are not alone  

As therapists we can sometimes feel stuck, hopeless, and/or confused in the sessions with a client without knowing how to move deeper into their feelings.  Lack of trust, trauma, avoidance, limited emotional awareness, are some of the possible reasons for this resistance from the client's side, and they have all the valid reasons to do so.  

Sometimes we might try methods that push the client to close off even more, or we may give up, and sooner or later therapy finishes without completing the transformational work that would have been useful for the client.  

Many psychotherapists, counsellors and coaches from all over the world are adding the projective cards to their therapeutic toolbox and finding them really useful.  Benefits of using cards in therapy
