Frequently asked questions
What is Heroes Quest Therapy?
Heroes Quest Therapy provides immersive, transformative tabletop role-playing experiences, blending the imaginative magic of Dungeons & Dragons™ (2024/25 ruleset) with evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Every participant embarks on two interconnected quests: one within the thrilling fantasy game sessions and another in one-on-one individual therapy sessions, exploring their personal journey toward a richer, more meaningful life.
How does tabletop role-playing therapy work?
Through guided, imaginative storytelling, participants collaboratively create characters whose journeys in some ways mirror their own personal goals and values. As the characters boldly face challenges and make meaningful choices, participants naturally experience a sense of agency and empowerment. ACT processes organically emerge, revealing how heroes adapt and thrive. By understanding these processes, participants can translate the lessons of heroism from the game into their real lives, enhancing emotional resilience, flexibility, and a commitment to valued actions.
Who can benefit from Heroes Quest Therapy?
Adults of all ages seeking deeper personal insight, emotional resilience, improved social skills, or simply a creative and engaging way to explore life’s challenges can profoundly benefit. This program isn't just for young adventurers or experienced gamers; Boomers, Gen-Xers, and beyond are warmly invited to discover the hero within themselves through the transformative power of shared storytelling and therapeutic exploration with no prior gaming experience required.
