- Ball State University senior Cade Heaton explains how Dungeons & Dragons can be a therapeutic tool. Roleplaying in the game allows brains to grow and evolve. He argues that "These are worlds where we can practice ourselves and who we want to be." Cade Heaton is a senior at Ball State University majoring in philosophy, with minors in political science and history. One day, he hopes to have a Ph.D. Right now, he spends his time outside of class on Ball State's nationally ranked speech team, and as a part of Ball State's undergraduate philosophy journal Stance. Off-campus, he tries to find as much time for political activism, Dungeons and Dragons, and concerts as possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Younger weird Al is giving a speech of dungeons and dragons, and how it's therapy, nice.
It has been an amazing healing journey for me.
This guys spitting facts. I’m just getting into D&D and I’ve been listening too a podcast called “Dungeons and Daddies”
This group has caused me to have every single emotion I can have in one single episode. Such an amazing podcast if anyones looking for something to listen
Hey my name is Darrel Wilson !

Excellent talk! I'm surprised it doesn't have more views. Well said, that man.
Methinks part of the reason of why D&D is such a great storytelling device is because it gives an easy excuse to tell stories. That and the fact that one doesn't have to tell the whole story (beginning, middle and end) makes it much easier for those of us who are socially awkward to feel much more comfortable starting the process.
It is more than that though, because it is an interactive story telling where multiple people work together to create the dynamic tale which is roleplayed out around the table.
He looks like Dan Avidan with a beard. This video is awesome. 🙂 Learning that D&D can kinda be like therapy is such an amazing thing. I play solo with five characters, and it's been a wonderful experience. ❤
I have a difficult time saying no, and standing up for myself - especially for the things I want in romantic relationships. I also have depression and PTSD. Since I've been running a solo D&D campaign with five characters, my main elf character, Xilfina, has stood up for herself. I feel like the combat she goes through with her other party members is a metaphor for defending yourself and who you are. Since I began the campaign with Xilfina, I feel like it's become a lot easier to say no.
I am glad you are healing. I have an entire playlist called "TTRPG as Therapy" that might aid you even more. And I am writing an article that for now, only exists on my blog, as I have used TTRPG to help others.
Having fun is good for your brain. Hey, imagine that.
Love D&D. It’s a great break from worrying about the atrocities in Gaza right now.
Great talk, thank you very much!
Great video!
Dude looks like he is from the 1970's! 😀
I'm just jealous of the hair 😁
Damn Right! imagination is everyting!
Haha i started playing in 81
Wait until better virtual worlds exist to run D&D and other role playing games in. Muwahaha!
I'm my opinion d&d 3.5 is the best one because it literally gives you almost unlimited ways to do whatever you want if you really want to you can find a way to do it version 4 and 5 are more cookie cutter in 3.5 you can find a way around any rules to best your dm if your clevor enough
I agree! I’m pretty new to DND but I only play 3.5 for that reason.
If the mentality at your table is that it's a contest in which you need to defeat the DM, you're doing it wrong. It's not supposed to be that.
I would submit that part of the reason you may love about .5 is the extensive library of material available to that version. 5th Edition is still comparatively new so it has much less source materials available.. Oh if you like 3.5 take a look at Paizo's Pathfinder. It and 3.5 are very interchangeable though there are differences.
2nd edition rules !
I’m gonna be honest I’ve been playing dungeons and dragons for 35 years I can instantly tell if a person I meet plays or not and then I base my opinions off of them based on that
