Hybrid Methodology

A Hybrid Methodology of Healing Applications

Our method can mix with many psychology schools, such as CBT and Inner Child Work, but has its own basis and applications. The reason this works is that our method facilitates a player/patient-driven experience. The player is guided, but not controlled, to actualize and witness themselves. Being in a game setting increases willingness to be vulnerable and to view themselves intuitively so long as the game master leads sessions with care and active goodwill. This approach is based on challenging a player with a problem, part, or thought experiment they can deal with in their own way while communicating and being supported by a group of fellow players. Sometimes, it’s best to select one single player and delve deep if they are open and willing, yet even then fellow players are encouraged to help but not smother the lone player. Narratives geared towards one player or group of players might be thought to leave a person out. We realize that having this alternating focus not only shifts pressure when needed but also allows players to learn relationship skills by assisting the temporarily heightened needs of their party.

D&D specifically is a very accessible medium. We are not sponsored or affiliated in any legal way with D&D. It says volumes that Silken Dreams can engage with an entire system of gaming and storytelling pre-made by Wizards of the Coast despite that fact. Their Open Gaming License and following means we are meeting players in the biggest and greatest game on the market by sheer numbers, but their lore and connections to mythologies allow us to easily translate our goals through their system. D&D books in this early stage of development allow us to help the most people the most efficiently while founding studies assisted by a 50-year-old foundation. We don’t seek to reinvent the wheel, so we are waiting until the results of the studies on the most dependable wheel in the industry before we finish our RPG in development apart from the books down the line.
