| Short Description | Explore how roleplaying games can model the patient-provider relationship. This seminar covers using character-driven scenarios to improve medical communication and navigate chronic pain treatment. |
| Long Description | This seminar explores the innovative use of roleplaying games (RPGs) to address the challenges of ongoing care for chronic pain. By utilizing character-driven scenarios, healthcare providers and patients can bridge communication gaps and reframe the care experience. A primary focus is using the "magic circle" of play to help loosen a patient's rigid identity as a person with chronic pain. Stepping into a character allows participants to explore facets of themselves beyond a diagnosis, fostering psychological flexibility. Key areas of focus include: Identity Fluidity: Moving beyond the "chronic patient" label. Reframing Ongoing Care: Navigating long-term medical relationships. Advocacy & Empathy: Practicing self-advocacy in a supportive setting. We will discuss practical frameworks for using creative levity to make these serious topics more accessible. |
