Experience
The assessment begins by Janet asking to complete a drawing of a mandala with 24 or more colours. Once this is completed, there will be 39 symbols out of a deck of cards that will be asked to be drawn. Six symbols the client is attracted to. One symbol the client is least attracted to. Then asked a specific issue presently that would like to dealt with. Seven cards are placed on a field, along with the 13 developmental stages each individual goes through in life. Lastly asked to choose a colour that corresponds with each one. This represents the different levels of consciousness. A literal representation of psyche through imagery is then revealed.
