When I did my first play through and wanted to try the self-authoring mode... I immediately saw the potential for therapeutic impact. Basically, I was planning to create a moment that relates to the very moment I am experiencing in my life right now. I'm a school counselor and have begun to see red flags and signs from my current principal that reminds me of a previous boss I had that created a very toxic work environment. What I felt like my lesson from that time was that I waited too long before getting out of a bad situation. I kept hoping things would get better, but my boss kept treating us poorly after apologizing over and over and promising things would be different. Now I'm in the same situation again, and I'm wondering what to do. There are parts of me that want to get out of the situation right away. There are parts that want to stay and see what happens. There are parts that are worried about staying too long again, etc. I can see the therapeutic value of being able to flesh all this out when creating this moment in my life that can ultimately help me make a Self-led decision (I love IFS!)

Great example, thank you for sharing! Too bad you couldn't try it out in the game yet - I will post any game updates in the forum.
