You'll find this highly acclaimed board game as a useful tool in your therapy practice. It can be used for a wide variety of ages and may be invaluable in family sessions as well. The Talking, Feeling, & Doing Board Game evokes direct conversation and participants are eager to answer in order to accumulate chips.
The first published therapeutic game by Richard A. Gardener, M.D., is still one of the most popular counseling tools used with children in therapeutic settings. A child's responses while playing the game will reveal the psychological issues that are most important to him or her. Three types of cards offer prompts that will engage the child and, through their responses, reveal directions for therapeutic intervention. Very useful for the practitioner using a CBT model.

Customers say this game is highly engaging and a go-to tool for getting children (and often teens/families) talking about feelings, coping, and other therapeutic topics—especially with shy or hard-to-engage clients. Many found it useful across individual and small-group sessions and for sparking meaningful conversations. One reviewer noted some cards felt inappropriate and recommended previewing before use.
