I know, because I do some of them! If you click on the “Recent Webcasts” link on the left side of the blog it will take you to 2 free intro webcasts I have done on the subject. I also offer workshops on online gaming in real life, and soon, webinars. In the meantime, I am available to provide case consults and intro work on virtual world and gaming subjects. Also, check out the online therapy institute link. It will send you to the site where you can find lots of info on Second Life. My colleague Deanna Merz-Nagel can be reached there, she is the SL guru! Hope this helps!

Thanks for the great article. I would like to know more about gaming, the virtual world, etc. but as Susan Giurleo pointed out in her blog post (which referred to yours) there aren’t any trainings in the therapy world related to this. How would you suggest a therapist get training in this area? How did you get more knowledge?

Thanks,

Lynne

One more thing, the idea is not different at all from the world of medicine in that I would want my cardiologist to stay abreast of all new development with regard to my heart/health. So, as therapists, we must do the same.

As I read this, the title: Don’t get left behind” came to mind. It would be interesting to compare what I call the “Newbie therapists” vs. the “Veteran therapists” in the world of technology. As therapists, I believe that we must remain on the forefront of cutting edge tools–this is one of them.

I love your comment about refusing to engage in blogs as avoidant. There are times (yesterday, in fact) that I posted on Twitter how boring my peeps are, generally speaking, of course. You are not engaging if you promote your latest blog post or services ad nauseum.

I also have more respect for my clients than to think ‘the threapeutic relationship may be compromised’ because I engage in social media. My clients have better things to do than to stalk my Twitter feeds. I also have more respect for them, than assume anything different.
