The essence of the story
- Ask your partner to tell you their illustrated story in about 2 minutes.
- Can you sum up, in a word or phrase, how each card represents your inner world?
- If you were to illustrate your story a little better, which picture would you most want to adapt or replace - and how?
Seeking explanations - If you were to choose just one of these pictures to represent your story, which one would it be - and why?
- Which pictures represent the times when you were you most pleased with how you were responding to the challenge - and why?
- Can you arrange your pictures in a way that shows relative high and low points? What helped you through the relatively low points?
Seeing the bigger picture - Does this picture sequence also fit how you have responded to other challenges?
- If facing similar challenges in the future would you want to change the pictures or the sequence or the arrangement in some way?
- Imagine a future challenge that you respond to really well. Choose up to 5 picture cards to illustrate this future ‘inner world’ story of a real achievement.
