Transform your therapy sessions into an epic TTRPG adventure.

Are you looking for a way to engage neurodivergent clients, children, or teens who struggle with traditional "talk therapy"? Welcome to the Inner Quest Engine (IQ-Engine)—a clinically-informed, rules-lite TTRPG framework designed specifically for the therapeutic environment.

Built on the mechanical skeleton of the D&D 5e SRD, the IQ-Engine replaces combat-heavy math with The Four Pillars of Self (Marrow, Spark, Heart, and Mind) and a Stress Track that mirrors the physiological "Window of Tolerance."

🌟 Why the IQ-Engine?
➡️Neuro-Affirming Design: Our "Symptom Quirk Library" reframes clinical presentations (ADHD, Anxiety, Autism) as heroic powers with manageable costs, fostering agency and self-acceptance.

➡️Clinical Integration: Built for practitioners of CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy.

➡️The Bridge: Every quest includes a structured debriefing section to help clients generalize in-game successes to real-world coping skills.

📦 What’s Included in the Basic Package?
This digital bundle provides everything you need to start running therapeutic sessions immediately:

➡️Quick Start Guide: Master the IQ-Engine mechanics in minutes, including the Clinical Action Economy (Regulate, Observe, Encourage, and Brave Effort).

➡️The Avatar Architect: A comprehensive facilitator’s manual for "Archetype Inquiry," helping clients build characters that represent their Ideal, Shadow, or Protector selves.

➡️Symptom Quirk Library: A reference guide for translating DSM-5 symptoms into game mechanics that celebrate neurodiversity.

➡️The Big Book of Monsters: The definitive bestiary of externalized clinical struggles, turning abstract symptoms into encounterable enemies your clients can name, tame, and overcome.

➡️Five Specialized Mini-Quests: 15-20 minute scenarios (designed for 1-2 sessions each) targeting core clinical domains:
🧝The Echo of the Glass Tower (Perfectionism & All-or-Nothing Thinking)
🧝The Echoing Canyon of Memories (Grief, Loss, & Bereavement)
🧝The Harbor of Heavy Hearts (Depression & Behavioral Activation)
🧝The Masquerade of the Silent Socialites (Social Anxiety & Pragmatic Language)
🧝The Static Glade (Sensory Overload, ADHD, & Impulse Control)*

*More are being added each month!

➡️The Avatar Character Sheet: Professional PDF and editable Word formats to track Stress, Resilience, and "The Satchel."

➡️Enhancement Image Pack: 11 High-resolution digital illustrations to provide visual grounding and sensory immersion for your sessions.

Great confidence booster for dad - techniques can be successfully implemented immediately after birth!
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book! My husband read this book before our baby was born. Although I found a synopsis to be enough for me (no need to read a whole book for five main techniques), as an engineer, he really liked understanding all of the "whys" behind the methods, and understanding the reasoning gave him more empathy for our baby. My husband started implementing the techniques in this book immediately in the hospital right after the birth, and they really worked! It was extremely helpful for his confidence as a dad and for my confidence in him / us as we started the adventure of parenting (especially when I was recovering from childbirth in those early weeks). We have continued using these techniques for months, and they make a huge difference. Sometimes babies get overly tired and don't even know why they are crying anymore, and these techniques help to soothe quickly to get down for a nap. Truly, I do not know where we would be without a good swaddle and turning our baby on his side while swaddled, because he can be losing it completely and then the swaddle / gentle bounce calms him down very quickly. The one thing I wish the book did mention but does not is that it IS possible for a swaddle to be too tight on the legs - the latest research shows that babies need room to bend and straighten their legs for safe growth of their hips, so it's ok to do a fairly tight swaddle such that their arms cannot escape, but there does need to be slack at the feet.

SAVED MY SANITY!!!
Format: Paperback
I don't know why I didn't leave a review on this book as soon as I finished reading it! My daughter was quiet for the first week home from the hospital, but along came week two and around 8 pm one night she began to cry, and this time it was different, we literally could not get her to stop. She cried until around 4 am, and I was terrified that we had a year of colic crying ahead of us, but prayed it was just a fluke and that the next night things would be different. However, 8 pm rolled around, the crying began, and we had a repeat of a night full of inconsolable crying. I had never felt such all encompassing exhaustion in my entire life and I just prayed that there was a book that would have answers for me. So the next morning I took to Amazon and began my search. After reading reviews I decided to give this book a try - the length was perfect, thank you Harvey for getting straight to the point and telling us exactly what we needed to know! I was able to implement the S's the following evening at 8 pm when the crying began and I believed with every fiber of my being that it was going to work - AND IT DID!!! Simulating the womb experience was exactly what my daughter needed to soothe her overstimulated little newborn nervous system and she calmed down in less than a minute and fell into a blissful sleep that lasted until her next feeding, after which we repeated the process and she was asleep again. She was sleeping through the night after a couple of months, and we continued to use Harvey's method until eventually she didn't seem to need it anymore. This book was a lifesaver, I have given it as a gift at every baby shower I've attended since I first discovered it, and I'll continue to give it as long as I live!! This book could just as easily be called Happiest Parents on the Block - I am so very grateful that I found it when I did!

Ignore the sales pitch and absorb the advice
Format: Paperback
I agree with other reviews, great advice but the dr really pushes his products in it. I guess the guys gotta make some money. Worth the read though.

Nuggets of knowledge
Format: Paperback
This book has a lot of knowledge you may already know and/or would definitely see anywhere else on the internet. I found this to be an easy read that I briefly scan over until I find what I’m more curious about. There are several parts we found to be helpful and just good to have. It’s like adding more “tools”(skills) to the tool chest. As a new parent, I’m always trying to be a learner. We learned from the little nuggets of knowledge inside these pages It’s a very affordable book that you can buy used for just a few bucks. Low risk, high reward. Best of luck to all the new parents out there and congrats to your growing families. 🤙
