In this episode of Essentially Soulful, Betty and DeeAnna explore the fascinating world of our digital selves. From gaming avatars to social media profiles, we’re constantly crafting online representations — but what do these choices reveal about our inner lives?

Together, we discuss:
✨ How digital personas can act as mirrors of our unconscious
✨ The therapeutic potential (and risks) of exploring identity online
✨ Why multiple personas don’t equal inauthenticity — and can even support growth
✨ Practical steps to reflect on your own digital choices and what they may be telling you

Whether you’re a gamer, a social media user, or simply curious about the psychology of modern life, this conversation offers insights into how your digital expressions can become tools for self-awareness, integration, and healing.

Mental health professionals interested in gamer therapy or avatar therapy will find additional information below.
