I always wanted to…

120 sentence beginnings to finish off in psychotherapy and counselling

• set of 120 cards with 12-page booklet with instructions
• bringing up subjects easily and playfully
• finish off sentences… to move therapy forwards



Finishing off ready-made sentence beginnings allows diagnostic information to be gathered and therapeutic interventions to be made in the context of a game. The approach brings up new ideas, strengthens positive imaginative abilities and paves the way for accessing difficult topics. The colourful cards are assigned to 9 modules which relate to the past, present and future and, among other things, focus on values, resources and emotions.

The therapeutic value lies in how the sentences are actually finished off. If the patient choose the card, then this choice itself also provides valuable starting points for therapy.

The set can be used in individual settings with adults, children and adolescents, as well as with families or patient systems.

Examples:
My family… • Therapists are… • I would love to be… • If I could start again from the beginning… • If I had three wishes… • My greatest joy would be… • The most important thing in my life is… • I am grateful… • I deserve a medal… • If I didn’t have wifi…
