Old Man's Journey: Forgiving Yourself & Others | Screen Therapy: Video Games and Psychology

#mentalhealth #psychology #gaming Thank you for watching Screen Therapy’s emotional intelligence review of Broken Rule’s Old Man’s Journey (2017)! Sometimes a game can teach us something valuable about our relationships with ourselves and others. Old Man’s Journey helps us act out the difficult journey of both giving forgiveness and seeking redemption, but reminding us of our blessings and good memories along the way. This game encourages us to not take the present moment for granted and to make the most of our time together. If we had a curriculum of games to play for specific times in our lives - we would do well to play Old Man’s Journey when we are struggling with family relationships or struggling with regrets we would like to ask forgiveness for or if we are almost ready to forgive someone who hurt us. ___ Sources: Nabi, Robin L., and Abby Prestin.
