It's our distinct pleasure to welcome Jack Berkenstock of\xa0The Bodhana Group\xa0as a guest host for this episode! We give Jack plenty of time to talk about his group and their mission to help young victims and perpetrators of sexual trauma\u2014a mission they're carrying out with tabletop roleplaying games as a crucial therapeutic tool. We also discuss the science and goals of therapeutic roleplaying and trauma therapy in general. Plus, we do our best to plug\xa0Save Against Fear, a three-day convention in Lancaster, PA from Oct. 11th-13th hosted by and fundraising for The Bodhana Group. A big list of everything Jack mentioned is below the fold, too.\n\nWe don't usually ask this, but please share this episode around. We want to get the word out about Save Against Fear in time for people to decide to go, and we want people to know about and support The Bodhana Group as well! Bodhana has a\xa0Facebook page\xa0and\xa0Twitter feed\xa0too, if that's your thing.\n\nScripture: Psalm 103:2-5, Luke 7:20-23, John 8:3-11, and Philippians 4:8\n\n----more----\n\n--\xa0Rich Thomas\xa0from White Wolf Games (whose comment got this therapeutic roleplaying thing going,00:04:00) (@rich_thomas_ww)\n--\xa0Drama therapy\n--\xa0Everything Bad Is Good for You, by Steven Johnson\n--\xa0CAR-PGa\n--\xa0The Functions of Role Playing Games: How Participants Create Community, Solve Problems, and Explore Identity, by Sarah Lynne Bowman\n--\xa0Meddling Kids\xa0by Pandahead Productions\n--\xa0The Trouble with Rose\xa0by Todd Zircher\n--\xa0rpgresearch.com
