Over the years we have been so pleasantly surprised on how creatively the cards have been used in therapy, education and home environments. The cards are used today by professionals and individuals who use the cards for individual, group work and self care journalling. They are used worldwide in large and small organisations to aid dialogue and open up communication, we couldn't have asked for more than that.
These cards are person centred, for that reason there are NO instructions in the pack, we didn't want to limit your possibilities. We believe that the individual using them will find the right way to use them suitable for him/her naturally. So your only limit to use is your imagination, your professional knowledge and know how..but here are some suggestions to think about: We have prepared little videos offering a bit more information and suggestions on how the cards might be used individually and as a collective these can be accessed via youtube. Our Instagram page, just look for WAI Emotion Cards often has suggestions too, when we hear something different we like to share it, so please do Like us on instagram and say Hello.

Simple Card Exploration Suggestions
In order to vocalise feelings invite the individual you are working with to choose a few cards that stand out for them, then talk/explore their responses to the cards. In the case of the volcano……I feel angry, where is the anger? Is it bubbling under the surface or has it already erupted, how do I feel about this now? Another method might be to access where you are and what you need. Pick a few cards to describe how you are feeling/where you are and then choose some more cards to vocalise what is needed to solve this problem. DISCLAIMER It is hoped that these cards may aid exploration of the self. However, the cards may not be suitable for everyone and as such, users should ensure that the use these cards appropriately and with due care and attention. We (Neither Heidi Mellonie, Baden Mellonie or Wai emotion cards) cannot and will not be held responsible for any incidents which may or may not occur through their use. Using Wai Cards Online Back in 2020 we introduced an ebook and guide for therapists who requested a way to use the cards online with clients. This is available for an extra charge of £5.00 which we believe is a fair and nominal fee. The resource works by using the screen share facility in Zoom (the guide specifically refers to using the resource with Zoom but it could be used with other platforms depending on their technical capability) and allows exploration of feelings within an online session using the images. To learn more about the ebook and purchase please visit the E-book page. |
