Raleigh, N.C.-Rosen Law Firm, one of the largest divorce firms on the East Coast, now offers its clients and their children a new therapeutic resource, Earthquake in Zipland by Zipland Interactive Ltd.

It’s the first research-based psychological computer game aimed at helping children ages 7-13 cope with divorce.

“We’ve already worked with several clients who’ve used the game with their children,’’ says Lee Rosen, a board certified family law specialist and president of Rosen Law Firm. “ When parents split, they often find themselves in challenging situations on how to communicate with their kids and Earthquake in Zipland provides them with a unique tool.”

Through the main character, Moose, the game takes children and their parents on an interactive, exploratory quest where they face challenging tasks that uncover emotions including anger, loneliness, and conflicts surrounding loyalty. The game is designed to help children better cope with their parent’s separation through improving their communication skills.

“This is a tool that recently separated or divorced parents can utilize in effectively guiding their children through a smooth transition,” says Jennifer Coleman, life transition coach with Rosen Law Firm and a national certified counselor with a background in marriage and family counseling. “Children will have fun playing this interactive game while addressing some of the emotional issues they face concerning their parents’ divorce.”

Earthquake in Zipland is based on techniques and insights drawn from a variety of fields including clinical psychology, family counseling, and child and divorce/separation therapy.

Everything that bothers us in our life can cause stress. Someone, for example, can feel stress doing some hard and long-term work like writing an essay or doing the house.

Probably you do it not every day, but when you bother with it can cause stress. Sometimes we can feel stress during the meeting with somebody who is very important to your life or to you work. When we try to do something in order to impress or to influence we can be under the stress. But if we want to impress someone sometimes we are to make changes in our life: wearing style, eating preferences. Probably such measures causing stress come from communication as Heidegger stayed, but it is not so every time.

But nevertheless, when we are going to do something we are to prepare and it requires some communication, so it is very important to communicate in order to be aware but we should know that such communication could be stressful for you.

One more important thing which was pointed by Heidegger is that stress is a variety of alienation. If we turn to Marx’s works we can see that he said that work is a variety of alienation and stress is an exit from what is important in life that is why in any way we are aliens from our life. Persons who try to make more incomes to the family due to its work often feel stress and become alien not only for the society, but as well for the family.

Also we can observe the cases of alienation when one person is scared of other person; it causes stress and alienation as well. The scared person does not want to visit public places in order not to meet someone, and it creates a kind of crack in life. More other factors can influence the alienation and stress so we should be aware of some of them.

It goes without saying that Heidegger proposed some fresh and interesting ideas as for the issues of stress streaming. There are many persons on the world and many problems and factors which can cause stress. Without any doubt we can say that our family, work and friend can the main reasons for stress, but at the same time only they can help to get through such stress situation and to enjoy the life.
