Gamer Therapist: Playful Subversions

I write regularly about the intersection of psychotherapy, gaming, technology, and social justice on my newsletter, Gamer Therapist: Playful Subversions. Topics include gaming and mental health, the ethics of emerging technology, decolonizing psychotherapy, and the ways play can be a vehicle for insight and change.
