[…] Gamify Your Office! Article written by Mike Langlois […]
Mike,
Those are very creative and interesting ideas.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Doris
Thanks Doris, come back soon.
Mike,
Although I am not a social worker I do value your ideas on opening discussion using video games. Not only does it facilitate communication with the client on a general level but it also fosters positive (or negative) discussion about video games for which I am an advocate. Thanks again for an informative post.

Jason, you are very welcome. And I am glad there are a wide range of people reading this. I love it when gamers stop by as much as I do therapists. And anyone who wants to learn more about psychotherapy and/or gaming is welcome too!
A very good reminder of how small cues leave powerful messages for people about who we are and who we are open to. Thanks!
Brilliant ideas! Thanks for the advise Mike!
