About the Game

The Relationship Image is a symbolic technique designed to explore how you experience your connection with another person.

Instead of analyzing the relationship logically, the game invites you to view it through metaphors, images, and associations.
This makes it easier to notice subtle emotional dynamics: closeness or distance, tension, support, imbalance, or unmet needs.

The game is especially helpful when:
— the relationship feels confusing;
— you want to better understand your emotional state;
— it’s hard to put your feelings into words;
— you need a safe way to look at the connection without conflict;
— you want to bring something new into the relationship.

How It Works

First, Celestia helps you choose an image or association that fits your relationship.
Then you explore this image step by step:
— what condition it is in;
— how you feel inside it;
— where the other person is within it;
— what is happening between you.

As you go, you may notice whether you want to stay in this place, change it, or leave it.
The game invites you to observe what the image is missing and how your inner state shifts when you imagine or add what is needed.
Celestia can ask guiding questions and help you stay focused, but the answers and meanings arise from within you.

Why This Imagery Technique Is Effective for Relationships

— the image helps reveal the current state of the connection without rational explanations;
— visual metaphors uncover hidden feelings, inner conflicts, and unmet needs;
— the technique helps you recognize whether you feel satisfied with the relationship or want to change it;
— as a projective method, it can generate ideas about what you might add to the relationship to improve it;
— insights come from personal experience, not from outside advice.
