WeGROK Conversation Cards for Two: Mediation Games to Enhance Relationships, Communication & Resolve Conflicts for Couples, Friends & Family

Great for working on communication.

I was really skeptical about these cards, but I wanted to resolve some arguments that we haven’t been able to. Oh my goodness they worked so well! We stayed much calmer and were able to communicate much better. I’m very impressed with these.

The other reviewer that gave 1 star seemed to be looking for a conversation-starter-game sort of card deck. That's not what this is advertised to be - it's for couples to talk about things that are bothering them, in a meaningful way (hence, self-mediation). If you struggle talking with your partner without getting heated or shutting down, or not having the right words to express what you're actually trying to say, this is a tremendous tool. If one of you has done some emotional work, it levels the playing field, as it walks both of you step by step on how to have a conversation - set an intention together; one person speaks sharing the emotions and needs they're feeling (via cards they select - covers pretty much every emotion or need humans have, so if your emotional vocabulary is nil, it doesn't matter / you're covered here); the other person listens and repeats back what they heard; first person confirms they got it right/ adds anything that may have been missed.. etc etc. 2nd person shares their feelings & needs, same back and forth with listening and clarifying. Then work towards coming up with solutions that meet everyone's needs. I had a friend go to a couple's retreat and she said over the 3 days pretty much what they learned was how to have a good relationship = how to effectively communicate. And these cards do exactly that. Kids should be taught this in every school in every grade. We'd all be having way more productive conversations and way less one-sided screaming matches that's for sure. Again, this is not to strike up a conversation with your partner just because/when you're bored. They're for the serious stuff that's hard to talk about, but inevitable in any relationship that is going to be able to stand the test of time. Highly Recommend :)

I got this as a couples intimacy builder, but after opening it, I don't think that we would even use it. My other half would laugh at me and think that I was incenuating that we had problems with our relationship and become defensive. It definitaly doesn't even look like it's any fun. I was just looking for a tool to keep us both close. This was not it and was very expensive. It is not the ONE.

My husband and I have found the WeGROK processes to be invaluable tools when addressing a conflict. Following the step-by-step guidelines during our discussions has provided us with a structured approach to comprehending our conflicts in greater detail and being curious about each other. Through this method, we've been able to connect and, as a result, find a solution. What was incredible was that, at the end, we were feeling closer than ever before, even though we had just processed a conflict!In addition, what sets WeGROK apart is its accessibility to individuals unfamiliar with Nonviolent Communication. Recently, a friend of mine was about to meet her siblings to make decisions about their aging mother. She was worried it would turn out confrontational and asked me for guidance. I’ve suggested playing WeGROK together to clarify what was important for her and for her siblings and to come up with potential solutions. She had no experience in Nonviolent Communication whatsoever but within 30 minutes she found a way to handle a situation that had kept her up at night for the last few days. After the meeting, she’s told me that it went very smoothly, thanks to her preparation with the game!For me, it's lifechanging. I’d rate it 11 if I could!

“GROK for Two” is a game changer life-hack for relationships. The value and benefits of this tool kit should not be underestimated. This is an AMAZING tool that will miraculously transform a challenging conversation or decision into a beautiful, harmonious and respectful deepening of a relationship. The simple and quick guided activity provides a powerful opportunity for growth within a relationship. I first tried it with my 20 year old son as we were both faced with a minor “situation” where we both felt uncomfortable, trapped and torn and were not certain what the best course of action to take was. We learned a lot about each other in the process, grew closer … AND it became abundantly clear to both of us what to do (and WHY!). Our enlightened and informed decision unfolded beautifully and resulted in a win-win for all. I am eager for an opportunity to use it again. I seriously can’t wait. We are keeping it out on the table. I suggest starting with something small. It is okay to just to skim the easy directions and just jump in. You will not regret buying this amazing tool.
