Introspekt is a powerful method of self-discovery and personal development. At its core, it is based on cards with pictures and concepts as tools to explore our inner world. Each card is a window to introspection, allowing us to explore our thoughts, emotions and beliefs on a deep level.
This method integrates the cognitive, emotional and physical aspects. As you look at these cards, you invite yourself to observe not only what you see, but also how you feel and react to them. This stimulates the simultaneous activation of both cerebral hemispheres, balancing creativity and logic.
Introspekt is used in a variety of contexts, from therapy to career counseling and group facilitation. It is a valuable tool for therapists, coaches, mentors and professionals who work with people, as it helps their clients explore and understand their own internal processes.
Introspekt pays special attention to talents, strengths or competencies, as we believe that introspection helps them flourish and provide unmatched satisfaction and sense of purpose to each one of us.
The method allows a personalized exploration, adapted to age, needs and objectives of each individual.
Ultimately, Introspekt is a journey of self-discovery that illuminates aspects of ourselves that may have been hidden. It is a gateway to greater awareness, understanding and personal growth, providing clarity and revealing inner truths that help us navigate life with greater wisdom and authenticity.
With prior knowledge in the field of human development, Introspekt becomes a perfect tool to unlock potential and promote growth in various contexts such as:

How Introspekt can empower your customers:
Projection in psychology refers to a mechanism that involves seeing and attributing one's characteristics, feelings or thoughts to other people, objects or situations. Projection can help understand the less conscious or unacknowledged aspects of oneself and interpersonal dynamics. At Introspekt we use pictures as the object of projection, and we let each person see in them what they have inside. Therefore, there is no single perspective. And personal change always involves broadening perspectives. “We don't see things as they are, but as we are.”
Asking and listening masterfully are fundamental skills in effective facilitation. The ability to ask appropriate questions is crucial to facilitating insight and guiding interactions. Listening is a silent witness to the words and emotions that unfold in the room. It does not seek to point out or label, but to understand. Tune into subtle vibrations, capturing what is said and also what is not said.
By training facilitators in these competencies, we create a “clean” facilitation, without interference that distorts the inner voice. Cultivating the ability to guide while simultaneously withdrawing and allowing builds bridges to clarity and growth.
Each set of image and concept is like a multidimensional canvas, in each interaction layers of meaning are discovered that range from the physical and movement dimensions of the body, to the vast territory of emotions, talents, values, beliefs and, even beyond, towards the sphere of the transcendent. Each image is a portal that invites a comprehensive exploration, as deep as each person's consciousness. Each image is a reminder that life is an intricate tapestry of dimensions and layers, and that in our quest to understand them, we discover the beauty and depth of what it means to be human.
With a combination of pictures and words, Introspekt stimulates both creativity and logic. Sometimes, both routes (images and words) converge on the same emotion or thought, while in others, the image leads to one emotion and the words to another dimension. This duality often plunges the mind into an internal paradox, paving the way for the emergence of the subconscious. This left-right synchronization of the cerebral hemispheres connects mind and emotion, facilitating deep understanding and greater clarity in decision-making and the unlocking of latent potentials.
The loving and understanding gaze of the facilitator is in itself a powerful tool of transformation. In every interaction, this gaze becomes a reminder of shared humanity, a reminder that we are all on a journey, facing challenges and seeking answers. This look evokes respect for each individual's unique history and opens the doors to deep connection.
Ultimately, this gaze is a gift of conscious presence that allows transformation to happen and authenticity to flourish.
Sensations are the soft voices that emerge from within us, communicating truths that words cannot fully express. They tell us about changes in our body, in our internal reactions and in our emotional state. They allow us to detect when something resonates with authenticity and when something may be misaligned with our inner being.
That restlessness in the stomach, the warmth that expands in the chest when we are at peace, the tingling on the skin with emotion: all these signals guide us towards a deeper understanding of ourselves.
In this process of self-discovery, we are not seeking only intellectual knowledge, but a transformation at the level of inner sensations, the harmony that flows from the center of our being, a synchrony between our emotions, thoughts and actions.
The Art of Exploration and the Routes: The Core of the Introspekt Method.
At the heart of our method, we find not just the pictures, but a collection of techniques and routes meticulously designed to extract the maximum value from each journey. The images are the maps, but it is the techniques and routes that guide and lead towards deep transformation.
Our routes and techniques are the key to unlocking the magic latent in each exploration. Each route is a door to introspection, understanding and growth. The guide, as an experienced explorer, navigates these routes, adjusting pace and direction to suit the unique needs of each individual and group.
The art of exploration lies in knowing when to allow conversations to flow naturally and when to intervene with specific questions or exercises. Insightful observation, active listening, and the ability to read the group's signals are the guide's essential tools. These techniques are what infuse life and depth into each expedition.
Each exploration technique is an opportunity to open mental and emotional doors. From routes that encourage self-exploration to exercises that challenge perceptions, the guide is a master of ceremonies who leads the experience towards discovery and clarity. In your ability to recognize and seize opportune moments lies the intrinsic value of our Introspekt method.
Images are a powerful medium, but it is the techniques and routes that transform the process into an enriching experience. In the hands of an expert guide, these tools become an alchemy of inquiry and learning. Each technique is a step on the path of the mind, mapping opportunities for self-discovery and evolution.
Ultimately, the heart of our method lies in the perfect fusion between pictures and routes, between maps and navigators. It is the exploration techniques and routes that transform each expedition into a journey of self-discovery. On this journey, the guide is the expert who leads, the explorer who opens before him landscapes of transformation in the minds and hearts of those who participate.
