@magni.fy: This Game Can Help After Trauma #MentalHealth #neuroscience #psychology #games Researchers have studied people immediately after traumatic car accidents, and they found that if you play Tetris for about half an hour within 6 hours of the event, you’re much less likely to develop intrusive memories and flashbacks later on. That’s super helpful to know, because when you’re in shock the instinct can sometimes be to doomscroll, ruminate, or pray compulsively about what just happened- but those things can actually entrench traumatic memories and make long-term PTSD worse.

this is certainly anecdotal- but i saw someone while driving that had lost their life, it was horrifying and i played tetris for about 45 mins after i parked- and i have not had any intrusive memories about the incident after. i am usually tremendously sensitive to those kinds of incidents so- it’s definitely worked for me!

I do the same thing with block blast. It’s super weird. I never play block blast, but whenever I get super stressed, I subconsciously open up my phone and start playing, and I go “wait a minute, I never play block blast0

I told my son this, as a measure to prevent any possible trauma and he immediately asked "will block blast work?" and I didn't know how to answer 🤣
