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:

- Work
- Sex
- Relationships
- Anxiety
- Self

Questions 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.

Table Talk Card Game

40 placecards with 80 questions for sparking meaningful and revealing conversations around the table.

A meal with friends is only ever as good as the questions we ask one another. Too often, we fall back on polite but not so inspired staples: 'Have you got anything special planned for the weekend?' 'What do you do?', and so on.

But there are better kinds of questions - questions that work like magic keys that open up our hearts, draw out our memories and prompt our latent reserves of generosity, fun and interest.

This pack collects 80 of these sorts of questions to ensure a meal together can be at once meaningful, entertaining and touching. Laid out on placecards, the questions gently and charmingly pull our fellow diners towards the sort of topics that matter most to our deeper selves - and help us get the most out of one another.

Instructions:

Use 1 card per place setting.
Fold each card in half and add your guest's name. Now you can select who sits next to whom.
Each card has 2 questions. Prompt your guests to use them over the meal as a way to get to know their neighbours and have more interesting and meaningful conversations.

Questions Include:

What do other people not understand about you?
What do you worry about in the middle of the night?
Which three adjectives capture important things about you?
When you feel upset, how - ideally - would you like to be comforted?
What's the best way to break up a relationship?
If you were braver, what would you be doing with your life?
In what ways is your family especially odd?
What have your learnt about yourself in the past year?
What do you look for in a very close friend?
What kind of character trait that you don't possess do you find attractive in others?
