from people who played
"The first time I played The Judgement Game I stayed up all night afterwards in a massive trigger, wondering what the fuck just happened to me. The second time, I asked to play as a birthday present. I have collected and cherish each judgement I've received, and view each of them as a gift in my expansion."
— JMDTrust isn't about not getting hurt. It's about agreeing not to lie when you are.
voices from the game
Four people. Four reasons to play.
Once I started, all I felt was this relief — a release of the old, my own judgements I'd been holding. My value for authenticity brought me to my next value for connection, and so they were both just lifted up and so much more alive at the end.
— Sheri
I named the judgement I had — and she said: 'Yep, I own it, Mom — totally.' It was my most favorite moment, because now it was on the table. I'd had all this fear around it, and then we both just easily owned it.
— Cathy
This game has helped me live into the value of total honesty — being willing to say the thing that might be confronting or uncomfortable, in faith that truth will lead to somewhere unknown and full of possibility.
— Rando
The value in playing this game — I don't see this lightly — is that it has changed my life in a way I see as any other practice like yoga or a foreign language. It's a practice to strengthen patterns that can manifest in the rest of your life.

the payoff
Realizing our own wholeness includes reckoning with our shadow parts. One way we can discover the specificity of our shadow parts is through honest reflection in our relationships. This game will deliver you a direct portal into the disowned, rejected, and hidden parts so that you can love them fully.
"Through this love, you can then love others more fully. Let's step into wholeness, together."
