First time listener here.
I don’t know where the comparison to playing video games and it being a buffer to escape emotions comes from or how one’s life would be improved if it were cut out comes from but I was a little taken aback by how negative that rhetoric is. I’m hoping that I’m missing something due to this being the first time I’ve listened but can something not be solely recreational because it’s enjoyable?
Are board games demonized in the same way? How about getting caught up in a good book? Or watching a movie? What if someone plays games as a way to connect with friends they don’t get to see that often? Kids who live across the country, going to school? Obviously people who let any hobby get in the way of their lives or responsibilities needs to take a step back and reevaluate how they should interact with said hobby and everyone needs to decide how to live their own lives but the stigmatizing of video games and people who play them is such an unhealthy way of looking something that is not a bad way to spend your time.
Video games are actually neutral. They are not good or bad, until we have thoughts about them. When I coach women in this scenario they have a lot of negative thoughts about them. In this Q/A I’m offering that woman some different thoughts about video games that might help her be less irritated and more compassionate. They are only thoughts in the end. I happen to love video games and love watching my husband play them with my kids. But those are only my thoughts.
I don’t have $276.00 for the lesson. I may be wrong, but I thought I read this is free life coaching? Is anything free for a disabled senior citizen? Is the Be Bold class free ? Are the podcasts free. I am living on disability only. Is there any scholarships ?
I need help, my emotional age is childhood, probably due to being abused from birth to 12 years old.
