Using TableTop Games and Videos in Therapy: Interview with Anna Vagin

Published: Feb. 22, 2023, 6:54 p.m.

In part 1 of my interview with Anna Vagin, Ph.D. we talk about how she uses games and videos as part of her work with children and adolescents. I think you\u2019ll be surprised how Dr. Vagin uses short videos she finds on YouTube in her sessions. These are not games or videos that were designed to be used in this way, but she has carefully scoured YouTube to find videos that help youngsters connect with their emotions and to better understand others. What\u2019s additionally interesting is that Dr. Vagin\u2019s Ph.D. is not in psychology but rather in Speech and Language Pathology. Ever thought of that as a career path \u2013 a way to help people in their lives? I think you\u2019ll find this episode very interesting.
