Therapy U Head Rush - Social Skills Games and Games, A Game That Develops Mindfulness, Self Awareness, and Communication

Love that it makes sessions fun. Amazing quality and worth the price!

I was a little apprehensive getting this because I saw a lot of reviews saying the instructions and the game itself was a bit too complicated, but I played this with one of my DBT groups (age range 12-17) and they really enjoyed it! It was a great way to get everyone talking and to open up a little more about themselves, and the competition aspect made it fun for them. I think it would also be great to utilize in individual sessions and in a non-competitive way as well, especially for kids who are a little more shy and reserved. Would definitely recommend!

Head Rush is actually a super solid therapy game — it gets kids talking, thinking, and practicing mindfulness without feeling like “work.” My clients usually enjoy the goofy prompts and the quick‑thinking style, and it’s a nice way to sneak in communication and self‑awareness practice during sessions. BUT it’s not one of those games you can just toss on the table and expect magic. Some kids need extra scaffolding to understand the questions or stay focused, especially if they struggle with impulse control or abstract thinking. Once they get the hang of it, though, it becomes a fun way to build social skills without the usual “ugh, therapy” vibe. Overall, a 4/5 — helpful, engaging, and great for sessions, just expect to guide them a bit.

I've had many great moments getting to know my scholars as a school social worker providing counseling services! The questions are interesting, thought provoking, and not corny like some other get-to-know-you type games. It work fine 1:1 and great in a group! Highly recommend!

This is a great tool/card game to get the conversation started around these tough and sometimes awkward topics. I love having a game/tool that I can go to in order to help with easing these conversations with clients. The cards are smaller in size then I thought but other than that it is awesome to use with clients.
