The Gaming World:  Fun, Fantasy, or Fixation

97% of kids between 5-18 play video games.  More 2-5 year olds know how to work smart phone applications than can tie their shoes.  Is it a surprise when we discover the numbers of individuals who are addicted to or are having their lives disrupted by video gaming?

Dustin Bray, Computer Scientist and Game Strategist, Emily Livelsberger, Communication Coach/Strategist,and Mark Gorkin, the Stress Doc, will discuss when gaming moves from fun and focus to fantasy and fixation, examining such questions as "Why do we play?", "Do I (or a family member) have a gaming problem?, "How can I stop?," and "What might happen when you try to withdraw" from a virtual world?"
