Breakdowns of Feminine Energy

About the deck

A deck about the moment a woman stopped being a woman and became a function.

The deck holds 160 metaphorical associative cards. Eighty of them are scenes from a woman’s life where a turning point could have happened, after which femininity breaks, disappears or turns into a different kind of energy.

The other eighty are strips describing the causes of the breakdown, the areas where it happened and the situations that led to it.

The task of the deck is to find the place where femininity was lost, understand what it turned into, and choose the best way to restore your natural energy.

The work almost always turns up a compensation: where protection was missing, hardness appeared; where there was nothing to lean on, over-responsibility appeared. These are not flaws but a way of surviving, and the work treats them with respect.

The deck can be used as a deep diagnostic, clarifying, deepening, resourcing, transformational and supporting tool in counseling, therapy, training and psychological transformation games.
