Summary of Podcast

1. The Epidemic of Loneliness
2. The Benefits of Using Role-Playing Games in Therapy
3. Examples of How it Can be Used

Any technique I suggest is an invitation, not an expectation. I am but a therapist in training and I say this because I want the very best for your mental health. Above all else, I encourage you to be compassionately curious and try these things out to see what works for you.

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” George Bernard Shaw
