Start Your JourneyCognitive behavioral therapy is the most common form of treatment for addictions. It works on using a structured approach to tackling your video game addiction, analysing how you think and then making small incremental changes to transform them into healthier thinking patterns.
As part of our program we recommend that our users take a break from video games to experience life without them and give the addicted brain a chance to heal. We provide the most effective techniques and guidance to make this as easy as possible
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a branch of CBT that works on the basis of accepting the thoughts of our mind and feelings of our body. Addiction is usually accompanied by a great deal of emotional stress so learning to be at peace with our feelings reduces suffering and promotes growth in this program.
The principles of mindfulness attempt to move attention away from negative thoughts and cravings our users may be experiencing. This skill teaches us to focus on our environment, body and present moment. This will be useful during and far beyond addiction.
CBT is effective for adolescents with Internet [gaming] addiction, particularly in improving emotional state and regulation ability, behavioural and self-management style.
[Studies have shown that] ACT decreased addiction severity [by] enhancing psychological flexibility through redirecting the experiential avoidance to experiential acceptance and clarifying the values. Findings suggest a positive effect of ACT on reducing addiction severity.
[Recent studies show] mindfulness orientated recovery enhancement participants had significantly greater reductions in the number of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–5 IGD criteria they met, craving for video gaming, and maladaptive cognitions associated with gaming.
The Mindful Gamer was founded by a team of former gaming addicts.
After years of battling with their addiction, moving between short breaks and relapse, they at some point embarked on a journey into mindfulness. Through which they managed to break their addiction and live the productive life they’ve wanted for so long.
The Mindful Gamer was created using all of the effective techniques our gaming addicts experimented with. Combining and refining them we have created a comprehensive course of CBT that has helped numerous gaming addicts conquer their addiction for good. Having experienced first hand how expensive it is to book therapy with specialists, we wanted to offer all of the knowledge and advice you would receive from a qualified psychiatrist right at your fingertips.
Video game addiction is now recognised by the World Health Organisation as a behavioral disorder, but so few have resources available for treatment or even understand that it is a problem.
We want this to change.
Our goal is to treat and support as many gaming addicts as we can.

With therapist’s charging extortionate prices, Doctors are usually the first point of call. It’s most likely that they will be aware of this approach.
However, with appointments typically lasting 15 minutes it’s almost impossible for doctors to go over any information in detail without multiple follow-ups. With such short appointments, many people leave dejected, with a sense of “I’ve already read all of that on Google”.
We suggest showing The Mindful Gamer to your doctor and seeing what they think. We’re quite confident that they’ll approve!

CBT is one of the most successful therapies for individuals suffering from gaming addiction. It is an 'evidence-based therapy', meaning that it has been shown to be effective in many controlled scientific clinical studies.
During The Mindful Gamer program, we’ll use CBT to address the negative cycle of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause your addiction and how to deal with them.
As we know, the effects of gaming addiction can cause neglect in many other areas of life. Leading to physical, psychological and social impairments. Most people who follow The Mindful Gamer program feel much better during their time not playing video games. Many addicts attempt to better themselves and cut down but cannot complete it without the proper guidance.

At The Mindful Gamer, we wanted to offer all of the techniques, knowledge and advice you’d receive from a qualified therapist right at your fingertips at an affordable cost! Living the life you deserve is a necessity and it shouldn’t cost you thousands to get it.
ACT is a so-called “third wave” cognitive-behavioural model of psychotherapy. It uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behaviour changes strategies, to increase psychological flexibility.
ACT recognises that it is our struggle against addiction that actually makes it worse. So rather than struggling to constantly fight and battle against your thoughts, feelings and emotions, like so many of you may have tried - ACT teaches you to notice, accept, and embrace these events, including the unwanted ones. Allowing you to live life once again.
