Short Description | Games sometimes pull from aspects of psychology — sanity, phobias, manias — but how does one approach these subjects with sensitivity? Explore how to use these tools responsibly and constructively. |
Long Description | As gamers, we often find that games can feel therapeutic — providing a means to catharsis through compelling stories and immersive role-play. But when mechanics mirror aspects of mental health, the line between healing and harm can easily blur. Whether you're a therapy professional or simply want to provide a safe environment at your table, this discussion will explore how to approach such topics responsibly. Featuring professional GM's and therapy professionals who have first-hand experience grappling with these issues, this insightful conversation will provide you with a tool-set to better approach sanity, mental health, and trauma at your table.
