Experiential Therapy: OH Cards Workshop

Oh Cards are an unbound book of endless pages that lead us into new adventures every time we open the decks. It comprises words and pictures. So, what do we do with OH Card you might ask. Hmmm... it is different from tarot cards where people always perceive both as the same. OH Card triggers your cognition, assists you to communicate and interact with others, share your stories and to go through some self-discoveries stuff like that, but tarot cards are very much depended on the teller to tell the client. It's a very powerful tools in the field of counselling and psychology. =) It helps the client to reveal more self-stories in their lives and assists the therapists or counsellors to know the client better whenever the client is ready to pour.

Share your stories based on the cards you've chosen. =)

give others the cards which you think it's a form of encouragement.

There's no standard rules or instructions given to play the OH Cards. It is very much dependent on the trainer, according to his or her objectives, aims and outcomes for the therapy. OH Cards has many many series of different cards, for instance, "Habitat", "Morena", "Shen Hua", "1001", "ECCO", "COPE" and many more. This time round, i got myself a set of OH and Morena. Officially broke. =X

cards! =D

your past, present and future. =))

It's my 3rd attempt to get in touch with OH Cards. External speaker Ms Nicole was invited to give us a one-and-a-half day workshop. Brought in some facilitators to join in too. It was a fruitful journey for some participants i would say.

during the workshop, it's not just about the cards.

get yourself a cloth, feel it, and share your thoughts about the cards.

This time round, i strongly feel that, all of us, are like the support system for each other. No man is an island. We live together, side by side, with each other. Some students were touched to hear some encouragement from their group members. Some even shed their precious tears due to the disturbance of unfinished businesses. It's alright to cry. It's really alright. :) Some were even touched due to the affirmation given, which they seldom attain from the others.

Morena Cards.

Encourage and empower your teammates with cards that you think it's suitable and relevant to them. =))

Join all the cars together and make it into a story.

it was hilarious and sometimes do not make any sense. Haha!

However, there's no right or wrong about the game. =)

As a counsellor, it's really important, to get your emotion right. This time round, I kept on sorting out my feelings, for not being that emotional throughout the sessions, to learn to have listening ears and to give a smile or even just a nod of head or a pat of shoulder to those in need.

Whenever we go for a training, it's always important, to put yourself as a blank card. To give ourself a room to learn something new, more so, to give yourself a chance, to develop yourself to another level of elevation which you may not even be aware of it. :) Bless it be!
