Game Guides for Therapists

The Game World Therapy Game Guides are written for therapists who want to integrate video games into their clinical work. Each guide explores a different world and examines how its systems, stories, and choices can become therapeutic tools for reflection, grounding, and growth.

These guides are not walkthroughs; they are frameworks. They translate familiar mechanics into clinical language, turning quests into value work, maps into mindfulness exercises, and player decisions into metaphors for healing. Every world offers something different: resilience, grief, identity, or the quiet courage of trying again.

The series is designed to support therapists who recognize the therapeutic potential of play—to help clients build insight, regulate emotion, and practice new ways of being through the safety of a game world.
