It's not great to be harassed, always put down, put into those categories of feeling like you don't matter. There's nothing great about it. It's prevalent. Is it getting better? I think it's getting more covertly. While it was getting more covert, now I think it's more overt, mainly because of our current administration of the country. Things are no longer covert or overt.
Yeah, but even that is a chicken and the egg thing, like what caused what. People become emboldened. When the external sources are all kind of doing it, people become more emboldened. That's why toxic is as toxic does. If one person is toxic to one person over here, then that person is going to be toxic back. Then these other people will be like, oh, you're being DICKs? I'm going to be one too.
And then everyone just becomes this whole toxic community. And you're just like, why would you do this? And that's our big problem.
You have to recognize when it's happening. And you can stand up. You can be a voice of reason against it and be like, no, I don't like that. A lot of people when I've worked with adolescents and stuff like that, they want to stand up for their peers. They don't like bullying. They don't like those types of harassments.
But they're also fearful that if they stand up, that they're going to be the next target. And one of the biggest things that we always teach them is like, it takes one and then other people are going to come forward too. But it's also very important of how do you address it? What is the language being talked about? If it's very derogatory, get someone else involved.
If it's just like someone's bullying, pushing, and you're standing up for someone, stand up. Be like, hey, this isn't okay. Usually it just takes one person, one to two people max, to stop an incident from happening. It just takes two people.
So the, it's usually multi-session, but we, we go over.
in a lot of ways of identifying what what are your geek principles what are the things that you like to do when we start off with like do you like anime dnd larping video games we go into like what's your favorite one of each one we we kind of build like a profile in that aspect and then once we have that profile built we start talking about those specific more nuanced interests like for me it would be zelda um in a sense because that that's my that's my love um
And when we do that, we then bring the game in, the anime, the short clips or something. Like anime is one of the easiest things to work with because you can find clips almost anywhere online of what you're specifically talking about. And on top of that, you can have a very, anime episodes are usually about 20, 25 minutes long.
And so if there's a specific minute and a half that you specifically want to have a conversation about, you guys can watch that right there together. And then you can talk about why is this impactful? What, what is going on in here? Is it the, is it the, the actual, um, narrative ontology that's happening in there? Is it the relationship between these characters?
Is it that they overcame their, uh, their differences and they worked together? There's a lot of different things that can kind of go into and that, that helps out with, um, understanding who we are and why this spoke to us because we watch things. Let's, um, Man, Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It's a hard one, the ending of it, right? He may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy.
Like, if you have a relationship with your kids or your dad and stuff like that, man, that quote, that hits you so freaking hard. And the reason it hits you is because it means something very, very important. That relationship you have with your son, with your dad, is one that no one else has. It is the one that is so important and based with you that it can bring you to tears.
And that speaks to the importance of it. That experience that a lot of us as fathers had, other kids are having with their fathers, or you have them in, in different video game based type scenarios. When we, it's the last of us, just a spoiler alert.
Oh my gosh. Sunday guys. The next one comes out.
If you play the games, you're going to know.
Well, if you need to cut that out, you need to cut that out. But on that note right there, People who didn't play the game, the games themselves, they lost someone that they had a huge attachment to. And they don't understand why they're feeling this type of attachment loss. And that is very important to have a conversation around.
And that's why we then would bring it into like a therapeutic realm of like, what did this person mean to you? Like, what was his actions? Let's go over his entire, entire experience of, of him. He was a father. He lost his daughter. He went into this other journey. He sacrificed the world for Ellie, um, in, in a different way. And now it's into the fan. I like that.
And you're like, what is happening? And then the, the event occurs. That's important to, to process.
We practice what we preach. That's the biggest thing. There's tons of people that are out there that will do certain things, and they'll say, oh, this works, but they don't practice it. They don't do the actual work in there, or if they're not licensed to, and they're doing things that they probably shouldn't be doing, causing more harm than helping. We are very firm.
We would not suggest doing something like this unless, one, you're trained on how to do it, and two, you know what you're doing in appropriate manners. But three, we do it every day.
