I made a fishing, farming and mining game about thoughts and feelings called Peace Of Mind.

There are characters in the game you can talk with about different ways of thinking and feeling. Ideas from Buddhism are about overcoming afflictive emotions and emotions of attachment. Stoicism is about asking is this situation up to me and if not then recognising that using emotional energy isn't helpful. Humanism teaches that we are rational, always have a choice and can choose what we think by responding rather than reacting. There is some cognitive behaviour therapy mentioned when talking about Humanism.

The game has a built in journal function to write about thoughts and feelings.

Some of the other techniques mentioned in the game are visualisation where you can picture thoughts or feelings being placed in a bubble or cloud and being carried away, or placed in a river and taken downstream. Another is visualising gigantic scissors that cut emotional cords attached to people, places and things.

I released Peace Of Mind on itch.io.
