The Mood Cards Box 2: Understand Deep Emotions - 50 cards and booklet (MOOD series)

Lovely colours

"ADHD", "OCD", "Borderline Persoonlijkheidsstoornis", "Bipolaire stoornis", "Verslaving", "Zelfbeschadiging", "Depressie", "Paranoïde" of zelfs "Mishandeling" worden in deze set opgenoemd.Als mensen deze diagnoses niet kennen, kunnen deze hierdoor makkelijk aannemen dat het bij hun past omdat deze zichzelf misschien zien als een "emotioneel ongebalanceerd persoon" en kunnen ze gelijk denken; oh, ik heb dus borderline of ben Bipolair.Ik heb de kaarten doorgescheurd en weggegooid omdat ik zo erg tegen dit soort dingen ben.Dit zijn diagnoses en moeten goed onderzocht worden en zijn geen "emoties" die je makkelijk voor jezelf of anderen kan gebruiken zonder te kennen.De rest waren acceptabel en kan ik gebruiken, maar ik schrok heel erg van deze set.

Really useful for my therapeutic works with clients that may have difficulty connecting, or recognising their feelings. The cards and their content provide an easy to understand pathway that can help to facilitate purposeful therapy engagement.

I had a teen client that had difficulty expressing herself and was shy about telling me things. So the first few sessions, I would lay the cards on the table and let her pick her top three or five. We would go through them and she would tell me about those feelings/emotions and moods. We would also discuss coping strategies and identify patterns. It helped the client open up and feel safe within the therapy room.

I like the extra prompts that you get on the back of each card. Dropped score to a 4* becauseyou can't tell from the picture what the emotion it's trying to depict is (unlike other cards and emojis) but it is written, on the front, what the emotion is, so a good buy 👍
