Customers say AI generated summary

Therapists, educators, and parents describe this as a fun, silly game that gets kids and teens laughing while opening up about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Many say it teaches CBT skills, helps shy clients share, and builds rapport, with use reported from young children to adults and in groups. Some wished for more cards to reduce repeats, though one felt there were enough options. Others noted emerging readers may need help, and it can be harder to play one-on-one or virtually.

I bought this for my CPA for his family, for Orthodox Easter. He has only played it once, as he's busy with tax time, but he likes it.
It looks like a fun game for both his autistic son and his non autistic child.

I called your company before ordering anything.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Way more fun & easier to use, even for our 7 y. o., than anticipated. Great reading practice for her too! Lots of laughs for all, and awkward moments between parents that haven't communicated honestly or vulnerably in years LOL

My middle school students love playing this game! It lets them be silly while learning good skills, and it provides a basis for having further discussions. I'd love to see more like this!

This is a great game to increase engagement in therapy sessions. I use it in family sessions and individual sessions with children ages 7 to 12. This game is especially useful in those first couple of sessions when the focus is on building rapport and helping kids to become comfortable talking about their feelings. I highly recommend this game. Affordable and enjoyable. I use it at least once every day.

Great with upper elementary and middle school. Emerging readers will need help to read and understand cards. We modified "hold your tongue" with "pinch your nose" to make this a better option in our health clinic. It is a good one to add to your therapy game stash!

I love these cards. They are so much fun in group. It is a great way to start a group. We just go around the group and ask one question, eveyone anwers. An awesome way for the kids to get to know one another. It also helps the counselor to get to see the group partcipating in a non-threatening activity - having fun, beginning to relax, getting to knwo one another.

I was looking for a game for pre-teens/teens that allowed for increasing insight without the feel of a lesson.
CBT 123 fit this requirement, was easy to learn, and we could start playing right away. As a plus, it allowed for some really funny moments in play.

I really like this game and the clients I have used it with enjoy it too. The only problem is that there aren't a lot of cards and when you run out and the client wants to keep playing, you end up with many of the same ones and it isn't as effective.
