Affirmations Deck - 50 Positive & Mindful Question Cards for Self-Care, Family Bonding & Friends | Daily Motivation, Therapy Tools, Mindfulness Practice & Group Activities

A friend and I had some un-resolved issues and needed a way to talk about it. We were on ok terms, but there was tension there that arose from several mis-understandings between us. I bought the game and we decided to "play" the game. At first it was a little awkward, she's not the most transparent ( or open ) person, but as we both opened up more and more about each other with the questions, we both came away from it feeling really good. Some good and not so good stuff came up, but the dialog was open - so we were able to talk about it. We worked out some stuff out and we've been closer ever since.I can't recommend this enough for anyone who wants to communicate with someone close to them, but doesn't know how. This is not therapy in itself, but if you are honest when answering - mutual understanding can grow from the experience.As for the game, it's a very good balance between asking for positive feedback, negative feedback ( in a positive way ), tough questions, self-reflective questions, and ice-breaking wildcards that can interrupt tense moments with some positivity. There are just enough cards that you can play it in just one session, or play it over months. Either way, it can help you build trust between people who care about each other.PROS: + VERY helpful in starting dialog between people + inexpensive and easy to play + Can help you save a troubled friendship/relationship + Portable and easily giftable.CONS: +/- Some questions can be very tough, but - that is what dialog does. +/- Only works if you're being honest with the other person.
