Betwixt: The Story of You

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

Are you ready to hear the Harpy's shriek?

Whilst Harpies may be known now for their monstrosity, they were once described as powerful and beautiful winged maidens. Join Hazel in our latest video as she explores how this transformation – from powerful to maligned – is symbolic of a wider societal demonisation of feminine power and ambition.

Betwixt: The Story of You

Wishing a huge welcome to all of our new followers lately. We’ve been thrilled to see so many open-minded and aware comments on our posts of late. What a kind, clever and fabulous group of people you are!

I have been meaning to share some of our older videos in these posts to introduce you to my favourite episodes. To start with, I thought I’d highlight this three-part series on alchemical psychology — probably my favourite project to date 🖤🤍💛
