The cards contain questions clinicians have difficulty formulating. These questions explore the roots of the clients’ issues, as well as their impact, in the deeper levels of the individual's mind, body and spirit. These cards can be used in group, individual, and family sessions. The client will pick a card randomly from the deck, and address the issue on the card. This random selection is strategic, as it puts the power of card in the client’s hand, and makes the therapeutic session much less threatening for the client, which leads to better rapport building between the client and the clinician.
