Why TTRPG?

​

Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) have been a popular pastime for decades, but recently, they have gained recognition as a form of therapy. TTRPGs involve creating a character, developing a backstory, and collaborating with others to navigate a fictional world. This imaginative exercise can provide numerous therapeutic benefits for players.
Here are some of the possible therapeutic effects of TTRPGs:

  1. Socialization: TTRPGs provide a social outlet for players, especially those who may have difficulty socializing due to social anxiety, shyness, or other factors. TTRPGs offer a low-stakes environment where players can practice social skills, such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving, in a supportive and accepting setting.

  2. Self-Expression: Creating a character in a TTRPG allows players to express themselves in new and imaginative ways. Players can explore different aspects of their personality, values, and interests through their character's traits, motivations, and actions. This can provide a sense of empowerment and agency that may be lacking in their daily life.

  3. Emotional Regulation: TTRPGs can help players develop emotional regulation skills, such as empathy, impulse control, and emotional awareness. Players may encounter challenging situations in the game that require them to regulate their emotions and respond appropriately. This can translate to real-life situations, where players can apply the skills they learned in the game to manage stress, anxiety, or other emotions.

  4. Narrative Therapy: TTRPGs can be a form of narrative therapy, a type of psychotherapy that uses storytelling to help clients process their experiences and emotions. Players can use their character's backstory, experiences, and relationships to explore their own experiences and emotions. This can provide a safe and creative space for players to explore their identity, values, and goals.

  5. Catharsis: TTRPGs can provide a sense of catharsis for players, allowing them to release pent-up emotions or stress in a controlled and safe environment. Players may find catharsis in defeating a challenging enemy, saving a fictional character, or achieving a goal. This can provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that can boost their mood and self-esteem.

It important to note that while TTRPGS have been around for a while, they are still being studied to show their effectiveness in the therapeutic world. Overall based off the known research, TTRPGs can provide numerous therapeutic benefits for players, from socialization to emotional regulation to self-expression.
