The story of one consultation using metaphorical cards (the text will mention the pictures presented by the illustration to the article).
- Good afternoon, Marina, why are you so excited?
- Hello! I feel bad!
- What's bad, clarify.
Everything is bad
- More specifically, please.
I don't know why I live and I feel very lonely, although I recently had a relationship, but my partner does not need anything, there is no future with him, for some reason … he told me about it directly! After which I lost hope and am in a state of mental separation from him, although there are mutual feelings. It hurts me a lot
- Is it necessary to part?
I think yes
“Then you should be happy about the chance to meet another, more suitable man for you.
Not happy, because I don't want to look for anyone anymore, I'm tired of relationships and vain hopes for the future, from looking for a suitable man, it's still not that
- Maybe you want to be alone?
No! I don’t want to be alone
- Then what exit do you see?
I do not know…
- Let's use a metaphorical clue (see the first card in the illustration).
I see disgust for myself, because I need help and I cannot cope on my own (cries)
- I'm helping you figure it out. What exactly do you need?
I do not know…
- The second card (see illustration).
Judging by the picture, I need to say goodbye to addicted relationships. However, I cannot say goodbye to this man! (crying)
- Can you change your attitude towards relations with him? Perhaps with the help of it you just can cope with addiction?
I do not know how!?
- Third card (see illustration).
It seems that in his face I need a father who will carry the load of my internal problems, comfort, support
- You didn't have a father?
Yes, from the age of nine, my parents divorced
- Did you miss your dad? Did you miss him as a child?
I really missed him! I cried a lot then, did not understand why my parents broke up … it was as if I was replaced after their divorce. I turned from a lively and cheerful child into a constantly sad and resentful girl. It seems that then the whole world wanted to offend me, I cried every day …
“Did you miss your father’s protection?”
Yes, obviously not enough! And now, apparently, this unprotected weakness and emptiness remained inside me, which I am trying to patch with a man … but he should not be responsible for my father! It is not right! But I suddenly realized that all my men were a priori to blame for the fact that my dad did not protect me in childhood, and that there was a constant lack of support inside me. By the way, my back (spine) often hurts, I read that this means a lack of internal support. However, it is very annoying to rely only on yourself all your life. Very disappointing
- Are you firmly "on your feet"?
Yes thank God! I am independent, I have a good and favorite job, profession, education, my own apartment. I live the way I want, travel, pamper myself often, and try not to deny myself anything, whenever possible
- Why do you need a man's support at this stage of your life?
I don’t know, maybe it will be calmer for me. I often worry for no reason, I panic … or sometimes everything gets confused in my head: I don’t want to be alone, but it’s also very difficult for me to let men come to me. But, probably, it's better all the same one …
- So which option do you choose?
If I choose loneliness, then let this man, who now I have without a future, be just my friend. He is very good as a friend and you can rely on him in difficult times, he has demonstrated this more than once with his attention and support
- You feel better now?
It seems, yes … somehow everything fit in my head … calmed down …
- What about your father? Do you hold a grudge against him?
Yes, no already … I understand that she and my mother could not live together, they had the right to happiness separately … I think it would be worse for them together
- What are you feeling now?
Something such an empty calm inside, but I no longer have a desire to plug this emptiness with anyone … I am even a little ashamed of what I previously expected from a man that he would carry the burden of responsibility instead of my father. Now I clearly see: where is the man, and where is my dad, they seemed to be divided
- And what about the future, does it bother you that your man does not want anything serious?
I think as long as I am what I am now: with my torment and misunderstanding of myself, panic and confusion, then no normal man wants a future. Instability inside attracts instability outside …
- Clever girl!

Normality test - There are no healthy ones, there are under-examined ones! - psychiatrists joke. Psychologists-humanists, correct, they say, this is impossible, this is inhumane. And they say that all people are healthy, there are simply unprocessed ones.
