Azul Emotions cards

Why sharks?

Most people fear sharks long before they ever encounter one. The same happens with emotions: we fear anxiety, anger, sadness.

But just like sharks, these emotions are often misunderstood. Beneath the surface, they carry information, signals, unmet needs, and opportunities for growth.

More than a game

  • Name what you're feeling with more nuance
  • Notice where emotions show up in your body
  • Talk about feelings without overwhelm or judgement
  • Use it in therapy, classrooms, families or on your own

Inside the deck
