When I first got this deck, I thought, "Oh no, therapy art--it will be dark and bleak!" Then I looked--and WOW! Cat's vibrant spirit comes through all of it! A picture truly is worth a thousand words. There's merit here, especially for the therapeutic community--nurses, doctors, social workers, and anyone working with eating disorders. I especially adore the image of the plant watering itself!
