Viciously Destroying the Things You're Anxious About: TTRPG Therapy with Wesley [S4E5]

In this week's episode, we chat with Wesley about the enforcement of veils and lines, the virtues of stabbing birds, and the use of TTRPGs in therapy. (Wesley's an actual literal therapist!) This ended up being a thoughtful conversation about people's emotional needs when they're playing TTRPGs, even outside the therapy context.

We make a few references to our episode with Kyros way back in Season 1. (Spoilers for Curse of Strahd in both this episode with Wesley and that episode with Kyros, incidentally.) If you want to hear more about paid GMing in non-therapy contexts, go listen to our interviews with RP and Dante.

As promised to Wesley, we're going to plug touching grass and donating to your local LGBT centre. In the PNW, we'd suggest Qmunity in Vancouver or Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center (formerly Gay City).

Thanks to Briar for providing this week's intro! You can book Briar to GM your game or check out a D&D module they co-wrote.
