such an important piece of work that will no doubt have incredible impact for rare diseases

7/ That’s the power of play. That’s what we’re building with
@getkahani. Follow along if you're curious about rewiring recovery through joy, design, and science. #PlayToHeal 💚

6/ Because the truth is: healing is hard. But it doesn’t always have to feel like a grind. It can feel like exploring. Like building a world where you want to stay. 🌱🎮

5/ Kahani isn’t about making recovery fun just for fun’s sake. It’s about creating another system—a parallel track—that can carry you when willpower runs low.

4/ By turning actions into quests, wins into levels, and support into affirmation—gamification bypasses the “I don't feel like it” block. You're no longer waiting on motivation. You're nudging the brain toward action, automatically.

3/ That’s why traditional approaches to recovery often break down, expecting you to try harder even when your system is depleted. Gamification doesn’t rely on motivation being strong. It works with what your brain is already wired to love: ✅ Progress ✅ Rewards ✅ Feedback

2/ Motivation exists on a spectrum. Some days it’s fiery and loud. Other days it’s a whisper—or completely gone.Willpower depends on current emotional state, sleep, food, mental load. It's a moving target.

1/ Let's talk about something no one tells you: motivation isn't an on off switch. Willpower isn’t consistent. It's all a gradient. But recovery still requires consistency. So how do we bridge that gap? Enter: gamification.

love tapping into the concept of awe and how we can all unlock our childlike senses of wonder!

5/ We built @getkahani to embody this—to help rewire behavior through play, evidence, and joy. Follow along if you're building or healing through play 🎮🧠

4/ When play feels safe, the amygdala (our fear center) calms down. The prefrontal cortex lights up—boosting planning, decision-making, and emotional control.

3/ Gamified tools use daily quests, positive reinforcement, and narrative immersion to train emotional regulation, just like a muscle 💪 #BehaviorChange

2/ In recovery, play reintroduces curiosity, challenge, and joy. It creates a safe space to try, fail, learn, and try again—core to healing from shame and high-control mindsets because we know recovery is not linear.

1/Play isn't always fun—it's a biological necessity. It triggers neuroplasticity, helping the brain adapt and rewire, especially after trauma or rigid patterns of thought. #BrainScience
