Initially I wanted to use Do Tell as a game to help couples communicate on deeper levels and have fun while doing so. As I played it myself with my husband, and then with friends and family, I realized that I loved it myself. It teaches communication without excessive struggle and difficulty and helps people, including myself, remember that connecting with others is a creative and truly satisfying journey.
Couples often come to me with of “poor communication” as a key complaint. I have come to realize now more and more this often means people have lost touch with how to allow communication and connection to self and others to relax into a natural state of satisfying intimacy. It does not have to be drudgery to develop good intimacy and connection. I love the doing and risk cards also for the fun and edge play.
This game touches on many different aspects of connection and intimacy. My husband and I now play it at small gatherings. My couple clients that have played this game have grown closer together just when it looked like there was now way they could see eye to eye.
It is amazing how easy it can be to lighten the process of communication. Thank you for this beautiful and fun creative tool for connecting to myself, others and especially for my clients. This is really a great game. click to return to Do Tell Therapists section
