I’m seeing more and more antis saying that cope shipping isn’t a thing, and it super is. In fact, every word in this post links to a different article about how fiction helps trauma survivors.
In case anyone is wondering, this was super easy to make. There’s 35 links and I just googled ‘coping with trauma through fiction’ and linked most of the results on the first 4 pages. All of these just about writing, not even about all the other forms art can take. Antis, creating art about trauma to deal with your own past is a thing. It’s a well-documented thing supported by everybody from Harvard University to mommy bloggers. There’s books full of prompts about how to get started writing about your trauma. There’s conferences and lectures encouraging survivors to cope with their experiences and tell their stories through art, including fictionalized versions rather than straight memoirs.
