The Teenage Archetype Deck by Jennifer Hereth |
The Teenage Archetype deck created by Jennifer Hereth is
an invaluable therapy tool. The eighty-eight cards for working with teenagers
were created by over fifty different artists, but I have been using them in my
therapy practice for teens and adults. The images are powerful and moving. I
have used them as a check-in and checkout tool. Clients pick a card that
resonates for them to fit how they are feeling when they walk in and then
another when the session is over. On the weekend I taught a Level One Focusing
and Art Therapy group and the group picked a card at the beginning of the day
and then later after they had their Focusing practice session to represent the
part of them that they were focusing with. They are great cards to do
self-inquiry and self-discovery work. They can be used to do Family Systems
work, relationship work, and in many more ways. They are a good starting point
for clients to understand and explore archetypal work. Jennifer has created a
wonderful therapy tool. I have taught archetype groups for years and I know how
powerful archetypal work can be.

Jennifer is not a therapist; she is an art teacher, and a
painter. To quote Jennifer, “The unique visuals are not illustrations of a term
but meant to evoke dialogue. Also the deck is gender, sexually, and racially
sensitive to help as many teens as possible identify with the images. All
artists donated their artwork and funds from the deck will be donated to
charities for teens in this ultimate gift of love.”
I encourage you to buy this amazing deck. My clients love
it. Jennifer and her art students have created something unique and very
special. They can be purchased at cost $20.00 as a professional courtesy, tax deductible from JennyHereth@gmail.com or online through http://iartistsinfluence.org/#home for $50.00 tax deductible thru Paypal. 100% of the profits go to teem projects. Shipping is free.

I love this!!!!
The deck is so amazing. I love it. Hugs Karen
These cards are great!
Does it take a client long to choose their cards with so many choices?
so moving, powerful and fragile at the same time. Thank you for sharing!
Carole, Hello. No. People usually seem to know right away which card "fits". Cafe Ciza, I agree. You need to see the cards and touch them to feel their power. Hugs Karen
This was just what needed to come together and?make sure it will make growing up less lonely and more empathy breeding too. Thank you.
