The Game of Real Life
The second edition of The Game of Real Life is out now!
THE GAME OF REAL LIFE is a wonderful tool to use both in and out of therapy, encouraging players to incorporate mindfulness with therapeutic life skills to combat anxiety, promote active listening, and prevent burnout.
The game includes a 96-page pocket guide with instructions for gameplay and further information on all of DBT’s life-changing skills, from self-validation and self-soothing to identifying emotions and coping ahead for stressful situations. By discussing real-life situations with friends and learning from others, you’ll master the skills for staying present, regulating emotions, improving relationships, and, ultimately, increasing your happiness.
