How to stop thinking like a crocodile & start feeling like a human being again.

What is the Play of Life?

Many times I have been asked to describe what the Play of Life^® is and does. In truth the only way to fully appreciate the power of the Play of Life is by experiencing it. To put it simply, it is a three-dimensional psychotherapeutic tool that helps people learn how to live life better. One person described it as "a way to stop thinking like a crocodile & start feeling like a human being again."

It consists of a small board or "stage" on which participants use mini figurines and props to create representations of their relationships and issues.  Having a visual picture brings clarity and insight very quickly; helping people to access true feelings, see where they are, where they want to go and what practical steps they can take to get there.
