Long Description:
Who Taught You That? Join us for an enlightening journey into the world of Floodgate Games and beyond, where we explore the transformative power of the two-player experience through the lens of Queer Theory and adult play therapy. Dr. Josh Littleton, an esteemed psychotherapist, researcher, and founder of Board with Sex, guides us in understanding how tabletop gaming fosters neuroplasticity, encouraging diverse and inclusive thinking. This session will not only showcase Floodgate Games' enriching titles but also delve into how gaming serves as a bridge to meaningful connections, pleasure, and inclusion, resonating with pleasure principles according to clinical sexology. Prepare for an interactive experience with tabletop demonstrations and insightful pre-post debriefs designed to enlighten students, laypeople, and clinicians on creating spaces of belonging.
