Keep the deck image-side up for pure projective work, so no one's led by the text. Or use the words as a reveal: have people interpret the image first, then flip the card to see whether the affirmation echoes or challenges what they saw. In coaching or solo reflection, that second layer can be a gift; in a group debrief, you'll usually want it face-down. Either way, you decide how much the words are in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne facilitation note:\u003c\/em\u003e keep it invitational. Let people pass, and resist interpreting anyone's card for them — the meaning belongs to whoever chose it.
