Learn to Talk. Learn to Listen.
What would you like to tell your mother, if she could really listen?
If you could wave a magic wand, what would you want to be able to alter about your life?
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, not interrupting us or dispensing advice: they’re actually listening.
This game cannot turn us into real therapists (that would take years of training). But like many good games, it gives us a chance to try out, in an entertaining yet safe way, 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.
