About Repair Rally
Maker: Joyson Joy P, Clinical Psychologist
Why: This game is inspired by the work of Dr. John Gottman, who identified that the most successful couples aren’t those who don’t fight, but those who are skilled at “repairing” after a conflict. A repair attempt is any action that de-escalates tension and brings you back together.
How: This game helps you practice identifying and using “antidotes” to common conflict patterns (like Criticism, Defensiveness, or Contempt). By practicing in a low-stakes way, you can build the mental muscle to use these skills in real life.
