I'm Hazel Gale, a former therapist turned author and creator of the fantasy mental health game, _Betwixt: The Story of You_.
I'm fascinated by anything that lies at the intersection of story and self-awareness, specifically the world of archetypes, symbols and metaphor.
This passion grew during my years working as a therapist, but what frustrated me was that most mental health apps don't allow this most magical (and powerful) side of therapy into the experience.
Betwixt is my answer to this problem — a text-based adventure game that takes you on an epic journey through your own mind — and this channel is where I share the theories, frameworks and ideas that continue to inspire our work.

Betwixt: The Story of You
Have you ever manipulated someone without realising it at the time – guilt tripping, subtly nudging someone in a direction that would benefit you, withholding information to stay in control, etc.?

Betwixt: The Story of You
Hi all. I’m thinking of writing a series of short videos for our next shoot. Each episode will deconstruct and analyse a specific monster from literature, movies or TV.
So, rather than vampires in general, I might look specifically at Dracula, for example (though he’s not necessarily on my list as I’m particularly interested in more modern villains).
Off the top of my head: Shi-Maria from DCC, the Bone Carver from ACOTAR, the Predator, the walkers in “Walking Dead”, the Gentlemen from “Buffy”, Pennywise from “It” (pictured), etc.
I’d love to hear from you about specific monsters you’d be keen to see on a list like this!
Full disclosure: I’m not sure I’ll have the time to record this series in our next shoot, so it may be a few months off, but I will try!
