Working with images often aims to externalize unconscious processes or feelings. The integrated chat question templates support you in deepening the visual work methodically.
Typical application examples and questions:
- "What exactly is it about this image that appeals to you so much?"
- "When you think of your current state, your life situation, or your specific inquiry: which image corresponds most closely to that feeling?"

- Label Feelings: When words are missing, an image serves as a bridge.
- Change Perspectives: Through the variety of categories (from abstract to concrete), different viewpoints on a problem can be explored.
- Anchor States: A selected image can serve as a powerful visual anchor for a goal or a solution.
