  Build your hand of cards to represent how you feel about some particular thing, such as, what it was like growing up in your family as a child and adolescent. You can also do what your week has been like, how you feel today, (———, you name it). The player represents the intensity and frequency of feelings by the number of cards picked. So you might have six fear cards, eight happiness cards, four embarrassment cards, and two brown cards for confusion. Players take turns describing their hand of cards. Any of the listeners acknowledge and accept the feelings. Feelings are not judged or rejected. Form a hand and share it in the comments section.
