A judgment-free look at gambling that goes beyond casinos and betting apps, covering everything from loot boxes to fantasy leagues to lottery tickets. Through a guided walk through the reward cycle and space for private reflection, not disclosure, this session explores why gambling is built the way it is, why the shame around it keeps people stuck rather than helping them stop, and a few practical tools for anyone wondering where they stand. No pressure to share, no judgment either way.

Who should attend:
Anyone curious about their relationship with gambling, in any form, betting apps, lottery tickets, fantasy leagues, loot boxes, trading card pulls, or anything similar, whether or not you'd currently call it a problem. Open to people who are just wondering, people who've noticed a pattern, and people supporting someone else through one.
What to expect:
You'll learn how gambling is designed to work on the brain, reflect privately on your own experience without ever being asked to share it, and leave with a few practical tools. Kindly note that this is educational and not a replacement for clinical treatment.
