Survival Cards (Pack posted to your address) are a tool
for discussions with individuals or groups that name the positive and
negative solutions people use to cope with life challenges. People often
use negative coping strategies, even when they detest those responses.
The difference between these choices is more governed by the interaction
between our significant hopes and dreams and our fears/anxieties. Survival Cards use a life systems approach to support change in people’s lives.
Survival Cards are symbolised as:
- Cards with blue borders: Restrictive Solutions (negative coping strategies)
- Cards with green borders: Enabling Solutions (positive coping strategies)
Survival Cards support the
idea that people’s lives are full of driving forces (hopes and dreams)
and reactive forces that work against them (fears and anxieties). As a
result of these forces, our actions or behaviours are either restrictive
(less likely to achieve our hopes and dreams) or they are enabling (more
likely to lead to greater achievement of hopes and dreams as long as we
learn from the challenges we face).
