Dungeons & Dragons Therapy Group
What is Dungeons and Dragons?
In a nutshell, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG), where players collaborate with one another to tell a story through their characters in a fantasy world narrated by a Game Master (GM). Currently, groups will be using the D&D 5th edition (2014) ruleset. Don’t worry if you don’t know what this means.
As a Therapeutic Game Master, I incorporate a combination of gameplay and therapeutic techniques in group sessions
This format allows players to work towards their treatment goals while practicing skills in a safe therapeutic setting
Time will be set aside after each game session to allow players to process and reflect on their experiences and to ask questions
How is this therapy?
