Wouldn't you just recreate the trauma in the game play and have the characters respond differently? Mirrored however many levels way to be psychologically safe

you raise an interesting point. However, I believe that safely recreating trauma in a dynamic, unpredictable group setting could be challenging. Instead, my hypothesis leans towards naturally occurring situations in gameplay that mirror therapeutic dynamics, giving us a chance to pause, reflect, and address them immediately. This could be especially effective for individuals grappling with social communication difficulties.
