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.

Join Hazel in this video to learn about the dark secrets of alchemy, ancient Sumerian mythology and what these could possibly have to do with the movie Groundhog Day!

This is part 1 of our 3-part series on psychological alchemy; subscribe for parts 2 and 3 coming soon...
