This week I had a patient, who I have been treating for nine months, finally come out to me that the weekly "card game" she'd been attending was an on-going D&D campaign.[*]
She found it easier to tell me about relapsing to her drug addiction and cutting than to tell me she was a geek. She assumed her therapist would be less judgmental about her doing heroin and mutilating herself than about her playing an RPG.
I wonder where she got that idea.
No. You're not overreacting.
[* Some details have been changed for patient privacy. But it is, in fact, a D&D game.]
