A man in his 40s approached a card session to explore his relationship with a close friend. Despite their long-standing and beautiful friendship, the client found himself irritated by certain behavioral traits in his friend — to the point where he not only felt strong negative emotions but also experienced physical discomfort.
“What’s bothering me so much?” he asked, genuinely happy for his friend’s success and joy.
During the session, deeply rooted behavioral patterns emerged — patterns the client still carried and unconsciously acted out. These were connected to themes of power, control, dominance, competition, and superiority. Outward behaviors driven by the subconscious belief:
“I am the great one. I’m on top. I set the rules. I rule. I command. I am the law.”
As the process continued, we reached the root cause — the origin of these patterns and why the client was still unknowingly playing them out. In the next phase, these patterns were brought into awareness and released. This led to a powerful realization:
“I understand why I’ve been doing this, but I no longer need it — it belongs to my past.”
Then came the next question:
“Alright… what now? How do I move forward from here?”
Through this healing journey, the client realized he was not allowing himself to embody certain behaviors or attitudes that he saw in his friend — things he subconsciously wished to express but had been suppressing.
The final insight was transformative:
“My friend and his behavior are here to teach me how to let go and relax — something I’ve longed to do, but never allowed myself. I’m irritated because I want to act like him, but I’ve held myself (and others) in control for so long.”
As a beautiful conclusion, a new image was formed in the client’s mind — a vision of himself embodying the freedom, expression, and ease he truly desired. The healing process ended with a wave of love and deep gratitude flowing through him.
