Complete The Sentence

Find out what's really on your mind

This is an ingenious tool – based on decades of psychological research – for working out what you really think – and want.

Here are 52 cards, each featuring a different unfinished sentence (for example, ‘Men are …’, ‘I want …’, or ‘What I really need is …’). The idea is to complete them as fast as possible, without censoring whatever comes into your mind, so that you can discover a range of things you might deep down really feel, fear, want, regret or are cross about, that may be just outside of ordinary consciousness. Using the cards offers a newfound sense of self-understanding and clarity, as well as the sheer good fun of self-discovery.

Instructions

1. Set aside a quiet period to run through the cards, either the whole pack or a selection.
2. Complete the sentences at speed, saying the very first thing that comes to mind, however shocking, direct or emotional it happens to be. The stubs will be effective only to the extent that you can surprise yourself into realising what you’ve known-but-not-known all along.
3. Consider writing down your answers and then return to them later for further reflection. In what ways might your answers be slightly different from what you would ordinarily have understood about yourself? What are you learning about who you might really be?
4. Repeat this process as often as possible; your answers will differ because the unconscious mind is never static.
