Escaping the Dungeon

A fantasy tale about the wonderful principles of cognitive therapy. A King’s Journey to Conquer His Fears. In the land of Vita, King Omnes has faced devastating loss and crushing failure. Consumed by fear and self-doubt, he retreats from the world, believing he is unfit to rule. The dragon that once terrorized the kingdom now serves as a reflection of his internal struggles, an embodiment of his greatest anxieties. But when the time comes to confront the monster once again, Omnes must first confront the true source of his fear: himself. With the guidance of Vox, a wise man, Omnes embarks on a transformative journey. Through principles drawn from the powerful world of cognitive therapy, Vox teaches him to unravel the negative thoughts that have held him captive, giving him the tools to understand, manage, and ultimately overcome his anxiety. As Omnes faces both external and internal monsters, he discovers that true strength lies not just in defeating the dragon, but in mastering his own mind. This is a tale of personal transformation set against a backdrop of fantasy and self-discovery. © 2025 Kristian Kapelrud. All rights reserved.
