Short Description:
Explore how roleplaying games can model the patient-provider relationship. This seminar covers using character-driven scenarios to improve medical communication and navigate chronic pain treatment.
Long Description:
This seminar explores the innovative use of roleplaying games (RPGs) to address the challenges of ongoing care for chronic pain. By utilizing character-driven scenarios, healthcare providers and patients can bridge communication gaps and reframe the care experience.
A primary focus is using the "magic circle" of play to help loosen a patient's rigid identity as a person with chronic pain. Stepping into a character allows participants to explore facets of themselves beyond a diagnosis, fostering psychological flexibility.
Key areas of focus include:
Identity Fluidity: Moving beyond the "chronic patient" label.
Reframing Ongoing Care: Navigating long-term medical relationships.
Advocacy & Empathy: Practicing self-advocacy in a supportive setting.
We will discuss practical frameworks for using creative levity to make these serious topics more accessible.
