Almost all of us feel, in private, that we're really quite odd, by which we mean: not like anyone else we know. But our picture of what is normal is in fact - very often - way out of line with what is actually true and widespread. This set of cards asks us to compare ourselves with a range of statements, many of them dark, in order to find out just how weird (or not) we and our loved ones really are. It's a route to a fairer sense of what being truly normal might actually involve.
How to Use The Cards:
You might...
- Keep these cards close to hand for moments when you fear the awkwardness of a social situation.
- As in a therapy session, use them to reflect about a lurking fear or sense of shame.
- Give the cards to a friend who is suffering from an unspoken anxiety that they find hard to articulate.
