>>I had to stop the runaway train so I could go fix the tracks. <<
That makes sense.
>>(That thing about positive affirmations? Yeah, I still can't because they just seem hokey and and they trip the BS-o-meter even if they're factually true.)<<
Not all techniques work for everyone.
>>Given that a lot of people don't read fanfiction or a lot of original fiction (ysabetwordsmith's examples here) and with the tremendous power of media to propagate ideas, I'd love to see more /good/ representation. <<
I would like to see more good representation also.
>>Since I'm currently working on a gigantic fanfic with several characters who've been rather badly traumatized (literal world-ending events in game got sort of blown off) I'll make notes to myself to include these. Since recovery is a main theme of the fic, it'll fit right in.<<
I hate it when stories completely ignore character trauma.
