Thank you for your email. I have 3 kids in there 20s and I am a psychotherapist who works with many people who play. I have thought of getting a console for my office. There is a lot u can learn about someone by the way they play a video game. Shh I am playing pokemon go.

Thanks for reaching out, Karen!

Lucky you - Pokemon GO isn't yet available in my country. But that's probably for the better - less car accidents and such.

Actually, I'd be really interested in hearing about your experience working with those people, if that's allowed, of course. Maybe you could share a story or two about how video games can influence the lives of people (in good or bad ways)? I'd greatly appreciate that :)

I believe that whether we create something or are attracted to something it is about what we are going through in our everyday life. I have two good video game stories that are about my children who are now adults. The first is about my stepson who is now 28. He went through a period when he was 18-21 when he was depressed. He played world of warcraft regularly. In those the three years while playing he met a woman who lived in England who had her Ph.D. in microbiology. She started to like him, and that boosted his confidence. She sent him gifts. This was the first woman who paid attention to him. They got to know each other through playing the game. She was offered a job in the United States in Ohio. She visited him three times. She even cooked Thanksgiving Dinner for us one year. By the end of the three years, he felt much better went back to school and got a job. She was eight years older than he and wanted to settle down. He was not ready, but they have remained friends. I will write the second story at another time. Hope that is helpful. Karen. Also where are you from?

Wow, thank you so much, Karen! Can I use this story when writing my blog posts? I won't use names or anything like that - I just think I can give it as an example of something good coming from playing an MMORPG.

Can't wait for the second story!

I'm from Moscow, Russia :)

Sure you are more than welcome to use it. If you need more I might have some more stories. Karen

Thanks again, Karen! Will definitely use it. Still waiting for the second story :)
