The '''debrief buddy ''' system is a way to make sure all players have an opportunity to deal with [[bleed]] and the after-effects of a game on a longer time-scale. It is simply that before the game each player is required to pair up with another player that they trust and promise to keep in touch afterwards with the intent to discuss any experiences or feelings that crop up later.
The benefits of a debrief buddy are manifold: Some after-effects will not show themselves until weeks after a game and can be very hard to deal with effectively, as can persistent effects that take a long time to work out. It is also a way to make sure no player is left entirely alone with their experiences. Some players will also not consciously realize that they need to talk the experience over, unless pushed to do so. It is also better for dealing with more complicated issues than a time-limited [[debriefing]] session.
