As someone who actually plays with a therapist, it’s honestly a lot more of them trying to fully understand the motivation of every single NPC rather than the PCs themselves.
Holy shit that is SUCH A TRUE STATEMENT. My first campaign as a DM was a 10 person team, homebrew, where their backstories were woven into the story lines. Lemmie tell ya, I got to know so much more about my friends because of what they wanted for their characters. A lot of fictional wish fulfillment and trauma processing lolol
As a licensed commenter from cough UA-cam. Your eagerness to praise others for their accomplishments shows deep rooted need to allow others to see your own accomplishments. Most likely from the need to get praise from your own parents more specifically your mother. All the while keeping people at a hands distance.
For anyone that is interested, there are group counseling sessions using DnD as the medium. So the therapist would be the DM, they run through the session and do some processing after the DnD session. I just happened to be interested in it as an I am a new Therapist.
@@corygouldman2314 that's really cool! I'm myself looking into how I could potentially incorporate dnd in a therapeutic setting. Did you receive specific training anywhere or did you create a session with a specific theme for these kids?
Lusallie: “I have to go with Shapeshifter and I’ll good witch.” Therapist: “You have an Identity Crisis, wander, people pleaser and and uncreative.” Lusallie: “Okay, I see you discover power of emotional damage but my high optimism resist it… Plus everyone call for support and I’m here to help.”
My reply to the therapist: “Or maybe I just want to have the option from changing into a buff orc lady, an effeminate human man, of whatever I flippin’ want to be?” In all seriousness though, it would be interesting to play as a changling.🤔
My reply, uh. I'm playing this role cause everyone else picked everything else and if I don't play this role, the party would literally die. Oh you have a savior complex. 😅 cool. Now if you want me to save your character, pay me my gold and items. Or else you can reroll a brand new one.
We once had a group of five IRL psychologists (me, the GM included). They managed to convince the BBG to give up. In terms of analayzing each other through the mechanics... I don't do it most of the time, I guess they did not either.
Yo, can I join your group? My group just makes bad decisions often that ends up with one of our party members being dead and we always have to go back to Deaths realm just to get them back. We do it so much. We have a punchcard now.
@@dokikicingene1517 Having a punchard to the afterworld looks like a fun idea! :D Our group got dissolved as three players got married and they have "other" responsibilities. Kind of sad story..
"Dungeons and Dragons it's a safe imaginary world where you're able to flex your creative imagination free of judgment yeah we're all here to support and uplift each other" Meanwhile in real games ... DM: "Now Joe ... don't rush into the dragon's lair and get the whole party killed again" Joe: "That was 10 years ago! Are you ever going to let me live that down??" Player's in unison: "NOOOOOOOOO!"
Haha! I genuinely thought about making a psychiatrist/therapist styled cleric at one point in time. Then I realised how much everyone hated it and how poorly it worked in most D&D games and so quickly dropped the idea. But well done guys! Great adaptation of this lessor concieved notion!
In critical role, Caduceus Clay is totally a cleric therapist. But like, someone who's actually listening to your issues, who cares and sparsely offers advice when needed. The douchebag shown in this video is a funny character, but would be a terrible therapist.
As long as you separate it from the table and do it to the NPCs, that's fine. Maybe just go over how your character psychoanalyze the PCs as a passing note, rather than in excruciating detail
I have a family member who acts like this, and she’s not a licensed therapist or psychiatrist. She took a psychology class once, so she feels she knows the world now. Tries to point out everyone’s flaws, while ignoring her own.
I just made a half-orc warrior, who is secretly a forgotten princess. This made me just realize i maybe have issues with my appearence and I dont want to be the center of the attention, but still wish to be valued and lead everyone else... Or all these things are just cool.
Should do a contractor plays D&D who evaluates every dungeon from the perspective of how he would approach building every ridiculously elaborate trap, secret door, or crazy structure.
I'm a half-Elf ranger...due to my love of the outdoors and admiration of Aragorn from LOTR, not because I prefer isolation away from people out of a desire to avoid undue emotional distress or a crippling fear of never finding a place to belong.
this skit helped me in my mental journey, you see, whenever I imagine a fantasy setting with different classes (ranger - swordsman - magician - gunner etc...) I always imagine myself as a jack-of-all-trades, someone without a class bu picks skills from all classes. I suppose that means I am lost in my life and don't know who I am or who I should be, wandering aimlessly in life without a plan or a goal in mind.
@@alexanderslowikow9131 I was talking about myself, but glad wer'e similar. I also imagine I am always a Human, maybe because I am afraid to get out of the comfort zone of my specie, or I'm a racist :P
As someone whose favorite archetype is jack of all trades, so I often play spellblades or bards (analysis paralysis makes me hate losing options)...I feel called out.
I think a therapist at the table could make really interesting characters and develop or even a therapist player character could be fun as long as keep those assumptions and psychoanalysis in game 😆
There are many different types of game groups. "No judgement" sounds great in theory, but can be odd in practice. When characters who are supposed to be good have players who are extremely pragmatic, then being a bit judgmental might not be out of place. "But... saturation bombing would kill the civilians along with the hostiles." "Why are you judging me, I thought this was a safe space." Then again, judging the character's actions is different from judging the player. Some of the nicest people I know play some of the most violent characters. Now, if a bunch of characters in a row have immense collateral damage, after a while, the rest of the table will wonder why that's such a consistent theme.
Yeah I 100% agree mortal questions in game seem to leak in to real life And it’s up to the table if they want to talk about destruction behavior to the fantasy world in or out of game
Judging a character's actions assumes you know the character that person is playing. A lawful good character may be a Changeling who wants all humans dead, for all you know! I played a game where the GM had allowed us to think the character was a ranger because he knew the guy was a changeling thief, with a Chaotic alignment, he basically didn't give a shit about anyone but Changelings. I play a Moon Druid and am playing him very bestial, very anti-civilisation. My backstory includes watching local forests being torn down to make a town, killing all the local wildlife, so I am not very human or Civ-friendly. My GM has my backstory and told me recently that I was playing my character against type because he assumed I was going to be a fluffy Druid who makes calming teas for everyone - he clearly hadn't read my backstory at all, even though he was the person who asked for it. Also played with a Wizard who turned out to be working with the bad guys. Some of his decisions seemed really weird but when we finally worked it out, it totally made sense.
As a therapist, this is interesting. Although, I do find that the first character a person creates is the most telling. after that, it's just super fun! I don't take therapy into playing but as a GM, you can use it to make some interesting conflicts just by knowing what ppl think and feel; I would never abuse my power 😜 Seriously tho, there are therapy groups that utilize ttRPGs as well as LARPs nowadays. AND playing such games develops great skills. I just really love playing RPGs! Also, everyone is amazing in this sketch! great job!
My first character was a tiefling warlock whose mother was killed by his demon father, leaving him an orphan who was abused by his fellow foster kids throughout his life, leading to him becoming a force for justice who rejects his demonic heritage in every way. Which... may perhaps reflect how I cut my dick of a father out of my life when I turned 18, was bullied throughout middle school, and consider empathy to be one of the most important values... a parallel which I never noticed until now... ...damn you and your introspective revelatory accuracy, therapists! 😅
@@IceMetalPunk and I didn't need to do a thing 😜 my first character was an elf ranger, who was the only female in her family and had to take care of them. She was self-taught with everything. She then left her family to make it on her own. Kinda boring but that's what it was. Much like my own life. As I said, the first character is very telling. 😁
I ACTUALLY once experienced this in person when designing a character. My friend's girlfriend knew nothing about super heroes and thought a character I made in a comic was somehow a representation of me or my own life. It was the funniest thing I ever heard, but I was still mind blown that someone would try to merge fiction with reality.
I just went to go see Return of the King (extended edition) last night in theaters, and they showed a few celebs playing DnD... a bit odd I see this the following morning...
Nah. Viva La Dirt League did one too, only they didn't have "sponsored content" written right up front. Wizards of the Coast are continuing their push to get back more people after they lost the serious fans and homebrewers after the OGL disaster and the failure of the Chris Pine movie to go gangbusters after all the marketing.
Reminds me of the psychiatrist in my dads old friend group who would both analyze everyone and make occasional quips, but then was also constantly self medicating, to the point of laying down on the middle of the floor after getting too fucked up from her pill cocktails DURING fancy dinner parties. I mean I loved the floor show, it's not often you see something quite that funny.
I was relating to the therapist so hard for the introduction (except for being an actual therapist). Then I just couldn't stop laughing. Seriously, though. One of the reasons I love DnD so much is that I get to silently psychoanalyze the players and characters in order to play my own character to the best accuracy. So much brain food! 😅
I'm not a therapist but I am aware of the work being done with TRPGs (and am writing a version of my own system specifically for use with such situations) but I am gratified to see that this video is poking fun of the stereotypes in a gentle, appreciative way. We all need some laughs these days. I love The Warp Zone.
So, therapist here: yes this is how we think all the time but we would never share, especially unwelcomed. Also, after a long day of crisis and all the other jazz that comes with therapy, I have no desire to psychoanalyze anyone or myself lol.
I had a game with three of them. They used their backgrounds more to talk NPC's through their issues, including a traumatized ancient red dragon that they broke out of a planar prison and helped achieve godhood.
Oh no… I’m realizing all my characters ultimately have the simple background of “left her basic life to go adventure.” That’s clearly a reflection of my repressed anger at being the only one of my siblings not to leave out small hometown for bigger things! 😳😂😜
I've done it and it was fun. My Spiritual Weapon was the DSM-V, using the Knowledge Cleric ability/clairvoyance spells was consulting with colleagues, and when I landed a particularly nasty blow, I asked "How does THAT make you feel?"
I actually put descriptions of all of my past characters into ChatGPT and then had it make guesses about me based on those characters. The results were interesting. Nothing too controversial or surprising though.
Me: I'm going to play a Paladin who can smite undead as well as tank and heal when needed. Therapist: So you're filling multiple roles, trying to do everything, in order to please everyone, for them to like you.
you definitely need a better therapist. although it is good to take responsibility only for your actions, not others. and don't be afraid to tell the therapist that it isn't working. if they are a good therapist, they will understand and help you find what you need. IF they are a good therapist...
Why does it seem most appropriate that the therapist would play a bard? I called it at first and was briefly disappointed when he picked ranger. I was slightly more disappointed when he misunderstood rangers as a ranged only class, but that bait and switch was great.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who prescribes medications for psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, etc. There are regular adult psychiatrists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, consult and liaison psychiatrists (what Dr. House was initially meant to be based on), geriatric psychiatrists, addictions psychiatrists, and now interventional psychiatrists that provide care such as ketamine, ECT, rTMS, etc. It requires at least 4 years of residency after 4 years of medical school after at least 4 years of undergraduate and additional fellowship for subspecialty. The average salary is around 300k a year. A therapist can get licensed after 6 months of training...

Loving the full on Frasier energy of this xD
Why does it seem most appropriate that the therapist would play a bard? I called it at first and was briefly disappointed when he picked ranger. I was slightly more disappointed when he misunderstood rangers as a ranged only class, but that bait and switch was great.
Did you 3d print your own terrain pieces? They look cool!
How to get your friends to see a therapist... part 1😂
I love the D&D videos
This is the greatest series y’all have

A psycho-analyst having an unreasonably disapproving father is mad accurate.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who prescribes medications for psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, etc. There are regular adult psychiatrists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, consult and liaison psychiatrists (what Dr. House was initially meant to be based on), geriatric psychiatrists, addictions psychiatrists, and now interventional psychiatrists that provide care such as ketamine, ECT, rTMS, etc. It requires at least 4 years of residency after 4 years of medical school after at least 4 years of undergraduate and additional fellowship for subspecialty. The average salary is around 300k a year.
A therapist can get licensed after 6 months of training...
For a second I thought he was attempting to deconstruct their characters, not diagnose the actual players.
I Needed more of this series
Random. But the therapist would’ve made an excellent young Han Solo
I fear a therapist get to know my characters. Or worse, read my aidungeon.
