The Therapy Game

Learn to Talk. Learn to Listen.When we end up in a really good conversation with a friend, we sometimes pay them a slightly unusual but sincere compliment: we say that chatting to them feels like talking to a good therapist.What we tend to mean is that they’re giving us space to talk, they’re not interrupting us or pushing their own advice aggressively forward: they’re properly listening.This game cannot turn us into real therapists (that would take years of training). But like many good games (ones about flying or being a detective for example), it gives us a chance to try out, entertainingly but safely, one of the most interesting sides of a great profession. The Therapy Game offers us a rare opportunity to listen and speak to one another at truly fulfilling length and depth.The cards cover five categories:WorkSexRelationshipsAnxietySelfQuestions cover topics such as:Who do you need to impress?What did you learn about relationships from your parents?If you were a friend of yours, what would you tell yourself about the challenges you face?Around what features of your character does your self-hatred focus?Contains adult content.100 cards with timer.
