The benefits of gaming and conversational starter cards is a form of treatment in elevating anxiety. Games help foster feelings of social connectedness, a sense of achievement, and the ability to control emotions as they come. In addition, cognitive behavior can help kids learn to replace thoughts and incorporate positive thinking. With an open space and dim lighting students may be more conducive to emotional exploration. What I have learned in my 6 years of counseling middle school students is, dim lighting helps promote comfort in exploring feelings and emotions. The placement of comfortable furniture is also helpful in working with students who are feeling vulnerable. I find it especially helpful counseling students face to face rather than behind a desk.
