CBT 123 Version 2.0: The Hilariously Fun Game That Empowers Kids and Teens to Take Charge of Their Thoughts, Actions, and Emotions - Updated Version

I first ordered this when I was doing therapy with children and it made such a lovely icebreaker as well as a great introduction for children who were a little more closed off or skeptical of opening up. The idea that you are answering one of the questions in a silly manner humanized you with the kids and made you seem "less adult". Which, if you've ever worked with kids, you know sometimes they view "adults" as not always trustworthy so it takes a while for them. I ended up having several of the kids I saw (from ages 8 to 17 at the time) request this game because it was "silly and fun". It made those hard to answer questions into something not so scary, and when I used this in a group setting it made a lot of the kids like that they can share their answers too without being judged. Overall, this is such a lovely game and I recommend it to all interns and therapist to add to their little work kits!

Great game, marketed for 7 to 15 year olds, but the questions are too adult and not clear enough for that age group. I had to spend a lot of time explaining what they meant. We had some giggles with it though.

My adolescent clients love this game!

I only use the #1 cards as the others are a little too hard for my kids but they are a highlight of our dinners. The kids love the variety and I love being able to get their perspective on different topics that would normally be hard for them to bring up.

Great tool for using during interoception exercises to have Pts explain how they feel, but in a silly way,to decrease stigma of discussing difficult topics. OT use in school setting.
