Mental Health through Storytelling - with Dr. Allison Battles

Mental Health through Storytelling - with Dr. Allison Battles

Today's episode features Dr. Allison Battles, a Queer and Pagan licensed clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, and Certified Therapeutic Game Master. Yes - Game Master! Allison and I consider topics as far afield as how science can sometimes be unwieldy in healing, using Dungeons & Dragons for identity exploration, and that Dark Elf you made in WoW, but should likely be ashamed of.
