I often spread them out on the floor and ask the client to choose the ones most relevant to them, or to create a 'yes' and 'no' pile. Chosen cards can then be explored and discussed using a neurodiversity-affirming approach.

It doesn’t get rid of anything important — just unnecessary stuff which is cluttering or slowing things down in there. It wants to work as effectively as possible. It also strengthens the neurons which you do use. Your brain will keep pruning until you are about twenty- four years old.
