You've heard people say video games are bad for your mental health. But what if a game like Tetris might actually change how your brain processes trauma and prevent you from developing PTSD?

Researchers have found that playing Tetris can be a valuable therapeutic tool. Some of the things I share are:

• How Tetris affects your brain
• What the research studies say it does to your brain and how it affects your intrusive thoughts
• The window of opportunity that makes Tetris effective
• The science behind video games and their impact
• How to apply this knowledge to your life, and how to help someone who has been through something traumatic
