0:00.0	Hey deserving of the listeners, today is number six of the second campaign of Dungeons and Dragons
0:07.2	Therapy.
0:08.2	In these episodes, in this series of episodes, we demonstrate what it's like to use Dungeons and Dragons in therapy.
0:17.0	And the idea goes that when there's a lot of different ways to meet goals and therapy.
