Fanfiction and Healing: Rho and James' Journey Through the Forbidden Forest

That love and carefully cultivated joy could lift you out of the deep. Today I can handle it, still my job, and I fucking love it. And knowing that you worked really hard to get to that point, so people would say that that perspective and that feeling is part of post-traumatic growth, which is a well-known phenomenon, that when people go through something really horrendous, they can come away from it so empowered and stronger and knowing that they are capable of surviving.
Ever wondered how fanfiction can be more than just stories? In this episode of 'The Forbidden Forest', hosts Rho and James take you on a personal journey through their transformative fanfiction. Written during their honeymoon, this chapter reflects ten years of growth and exploration. The episode isn't shy about diving into heavy topics like sex, violence, death, and suicide. But it's not all dark; there's a lot of talk about post-traumatic growth, self-management, and finding joy in everyday life.
Rho and James use their stories to navigate real-world issues, showing how fanfiction can help us understand ourselves better. They explore how the Harry Potter universe and its fandom have shaped their lives and recovery journeys. If you're looking for a podcast that blends magical worlds with raw, honest discussions about life’s toughest challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
