TF-CBT Triangle of Life 3.1

TF-CBT Triangle of Life – Understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

• Designed to assist therapists in treating traumatized children and adolescents
• Developed with clinical experts who created Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Traumatic experiences such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, gun violence, physical abuse, traumatic deaths, wars, and accidents often have a detrimental impact on children. These experiences can lead to recurring negative thoughts, resulting in negative feelings and behaviors. In this innovative game, players take on the role of Lion in a jungle story, helping animals like Fish, Monkey, Panther, and others understand their daily experiences. Through the gameplay, individuals can learn to generate more positive or useful thoughts in challenging situations, leading to improved feelings and more adaptive behaviors.

The game is accessible on iPad and Android tablets. It has the potential to help players gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing strategies to enhance their lives.
