Healing Through Play: Why Gaming Isn’t Just a Hobby

Breakthrough the Couch Season 2 Episode 10

In our Season 2 finale, we’re keeping it fun (and a little nostalgic) as we talk about one of our favorite therapeutic outlets — gaming! 🎮✨

We explore how play and video games can be a form of emotional regulation, creativity, and connection. From cozy games that bring calm to story-driven adventures that help us process emotions, we share how gaming has supported our own mental health and why it’s so much more than just a pastime.

We also chat about what we’ve been playing lately, how games can foster mindfulness and community, and why joy and play are essential parts of healing.

Join us as we wrap up the season with laughter, reflection, and a little bit of pixel therapy. 💬🧠
