Crash Course in Geek Therapy
Live on ZOOM!
With this workshop learn both about one of the fastest growing subcategory of therapy, known as Geek Therapy, but also learn how to safely incorporate various media, such as videos, video-games, and storytelling.
Participants will gain insight into how to apply the Geek Therapy theory, engage in activities that they can then use with clients, and develop an understanding about how to ethically use different types of media (video games, tabletop role playing games, anime, literature, etc.) and safely incorporate it into sessions. Participants will be able to discuss different theories within the framework of Geek Therapy and apply skills clinically in their own practice.
