Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPG) SkillShare by Ryan Hansen, LPC, ATR-BC
Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPG) is a form of role-playing game in which participants can take part in an active fantasy environment. This environment allows participants to explore both known and new parts of themselves in a relatively safe space. In this environment, the individual can explore different aspects of their identity that may be unknown/underdeveloped (Bowman, 2010). Participants can utilize physical representations of these identities and characters with Tabletop miniatures. In addition, painting can further enhance tabletop miniatures and facilities the exploration of a participant’s identity. In this SkillShare, you will learn a brief overview of the clinical application of identity formulation within the context of Tabletop RPG and incorporate miniature painting further to enhance the exploration of a client’s identity formulation. This SkillShare will also focus on material recommendations and painting techniques to best enhance the therapeutic process of identity formulation.
If you would like to speak about your art therapy practice or business (10-15 min.) during the July consultation and seminar group, please contact Maria at
