OCD&D:
A skills and therapeutic TTRPG group for people with OCD, anxiety, and phobias
What is a TTRPG?
A Table-Top Role-Playing game (TTRPG) is a game where one assumes a character and engages in narrative gameplay. Typically, there is a “Game Master” who narrates the world and story and “Players” play a character they help bring to life through roleplay!
The Game Master brings the story to life with vibrant descriptions, colorful characters, and creative worldbuilding. Players interact by role-playing in the world and cooperate to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and explore the world and themselves. Rules vary for each type of game, but you can count on making dice rolls and problem-solving!
What do Therapeutic TTRPGs Look Like?
While every Game Master has their own approach to integrating therapeutic techniques into TTRPGs, the most popular use is to strengthen social skills, organizational/ADHD coping skills, behavioral activation for Depression and Anxiety, Exposure and Response Prevention, and ACT skills. By engaging in a TTRGP therapy group, interventions may look like facing your trauma or obsessive compulsive disorder through roleplaying or exposures; build self-esteem and confidence that's been bogged down from Depression or Anxiety by achievement; or learn ACT skills such as Cognitive Defusion and Self-as-Context when confronted with difficult choice points. This is not an exhaustive list of interventions you might see, but some of the most common uses of TTRPGs in therapy. Your Game Master will plan interventions or a campaign unique to the needs of the group and players.
