I've been living with fibromyalgia for 8 years, and More Spoons gave me language for conversations I didn't know how to start. My husband and I use these cards during our weekly check-ins, and for the first time, he truly understands what 'having no spoons left' means. The meditation cards have become part of my daily routine.
As a therapist who works with chronic illness patients, More Spoons has supported my sessions. Traditional therapy card decks often miss the nuanced reality of living with invisible illness. The cards provide an entry point for clients to explore their relationship with their diagnosis, process grief around their former selves, and build self-compassion. I've ordered multiple decks for my colleagues. The journaling prompts are particularly useful for homework assignments.
I’m finally having conversations with my wife that I didn’t know were possible, when I didn’t know what to ask. It helped us have honest conversations about her daily struggles without it feeling like I was interrogating her about symptoms.
