outcomes that contradict the dis-ordered dominanat narrative

AH: build alternative narrative that builds new sense of self
AH: need someone to point out exception then encourage creation of game based on that exception
I SEE A WHITE PAPER HERE
SJ: what about avatar studies?

avatars - split-self
________________________________
me
5:13 PM
AH: danger with avatar: can create a broken (split) sense of self; avatar builds in a different reality a different sense of self from dominant narrative. Some issues there.
AH: avatar narative alternative must develop and find means to map that back to dominant narrative in reality; otherwise just fantasy world could just perpetuate dominate narrative.
AH: must be used carefully.
Google has lots of hits on avatar therapy for schizo, but not much else
Google tends to show stuff on avatars as therapists (e.g. eliza)
I see MASSIVE ANALOGY between seeking the exception to a dominant therapy and Issue-based information systems holding conversations till they stumble on some small common ground, then building on that.

multiole levels in a game: 1. expressoingg the dominanat narraritive, 2. expressiong exceptions, 3. buliding the preferred altermative narrative, 4. process of linking 3 to realty - 4 occuring throughout
pateint creates alternative story
idealised world for how their life should be
replace fictional character with themself
using avatar's for 1-3 and then replacing hte avatar with the ture self in 4
stage 5 = the something new that comes out of the process of 4
6 self narratives
5 - the surrendering self
6 - the recovered self
5&6 are the narratives that we need to steer them towards in phases 3 & 4 above
generic game environment based on the narrtive therapy process that will be applicabel across multiple disorders?
CFS: quest for the versions fo the self 5 & 6

Can we define a Quest to promote therapy, and Guild activity for the therapy?
________________________________
Alexandra Hart
5:25 PM
The process of the quest is the process of narrative therapy
private 'online room' is in their home

5:29 PM
AH: narrative therapy has stages; each stage could be a quest;
AH: first quest might be to find things they need to describe day life (e.g. day in service when something traumatic happened).
AH: that's finding and describing dominant narrative.
AH: what came out of that is flashbacks.
AH: second quest: find magic chest where to put their flashbacks.
AH: problem of flashbacks is now externalized: they're in the chest, even though they can still carry the chest around.
AH: next quest: another cave in which they experience life without flashbacks; put the chest somewhere safe; it's not going to move. That gives them freedom to exist without flashbacks. Do stuff that flashbacks mean can't do; e.g. go out on date in crowds, etc.
AH: includes loud noise that sounds like gunshots; all problems have been put away.
AH: could go to movies and watch war movies, do all the things PTS pts find hard; accrue points when points stay in chest.
AH: that creature they scripted becomes who they are: identification
