Sloan the Thought Slayer: A Story and Game about Overcoming Fears with CBT

Sloan is having a terrible time sleeping with a storm raging outside. He envisions monsters creeping up on him all night. The next morning, feeling tired and frustrated, he puts together a plan to overcome his fears.
Sloan makes armor to protect him at night. Each piece of armor represents ways he can feel safe and protected. The helmet reminds him he is safe, the shoes remind him he can run away from harm, and the body armor reminds him that he has a family to help him. The shield is a forcefield that allows him to filter out negative thoughts. The sword is truth he can speak to cast down lying thoughts.
The game cards walk kids through the process of identifying self-talk, challenging thoughts, replacing thoughts, and filtering out unwanted thoughts. It also helps identify the support system, a safety plan, and communicate fears and worries.
