The article is dedicated to the analysis of the phenomenon of home as a metaphor for internal and external space in human life. Using specially selected metaphorical associative cards for analyzing the client’s image of home allows to work on such topics as one’s self-attitude and relationship with significant others, one’s family and life, to identify current internal conflicts, personal boundaries, meanings and values of a person, to find resources for solving problematic life situations. The article provides guidelines for creating a kit of thematic metaphorical cards, as well as a detailed description of exercises for individual and group work (for psychodiagnostic, psychotherapeutic and training purposes).
