Not only was my son carrying a lot of baggage from the divorce, my recent remarriage and our moving to another town was very difficult for him. He didn’t want to talk to me-or to anyone else for that matter.
Zipland was invaluable-it helped him find a completely non-threatening place to understand and express himself. After a few weeks, he was very receptive to the idea of a therapist and there is no doubt that this program opened the door for him. Thank you so much.

“Earthquake in Zipland” enables divorced or separated parents:

- To talk about painful issues surrounding children and divorce which the child is usually reluctant to express, vicariously through the main character’s eyes.

- To broaden their knowledge and understanding of the psychological effects of divorce on children and the impact of the separation on their child.

- To play alongside their child and nonverbally address personal family issues under non-threatening circumstances.

 

“Earthquake in Zipland” enables children of divorce:

- To identify with situations in the game which are parallel to the emotional situations they are struggling with in their own lives.

- To distance themselves from personal experiences and approach feelings that they tend to ignore, .e.g. anger, helplessness, blame, shame, loneliness and other emotional effects of divorce on children.

- To cope with both the separation and the fantasy of bringing their parents back together again.

- To express painful, repressed feelings by writing in an interactive journal and thus enable desensitization of the pain caused by their parents’ situation.

- To enjoy hours of entertainment and intellectual challenges.
