Harnessing the Healing Power of Therapeutic Fanfiction | Justine Mastin | TEDxLenoxVillage

Our life is a story, but it isn’t perfectly scripted. Sometimes a particular plot-line doesn’t go how we’d intended, but we needn't lose hope. With the assistance of Therapeutic Fanfiction, we will begin to question the narratives that surround us and start to rewrite the stories we can and create meaning around those we can’t. In this talk viewers will learn how to use pop culture stories—modern mythologies—as a source of healing and a language with which to understand the worlds both around them and within them. Bringing our pop culture heroes out into the real world to help us fulfill our destiny unlocks the power of play that all humans need regardless of their chronological age. Come and question the overarching story of western culture and your place within it. Your destiny awaits! Justine Mastin, MA, LMFT, LADC, E-RYT 200, YACEP is a therapist, yogi, podcaster, author, educator, and full-time rabble-rouser. As the owner/founder of Blue Box Counseling and Wellness in Minneapolis, MN Justine specializes in working with clients who self-identify as being outside the mainstream—such as those in the geek, secular, and LGBTQIA+ communities. As an adjunct faculty member at Saint Mary’s University of MN Justine loves to work with future therapists exploring how to find their authentic voice and to question the status quo of therapy culture. Justine literally co-wrote the book on Therapeutic Fanfiction—Starship Therapise: Using Therapeutic Fanfiction to Rewrite Your Life—and has contributed to numerous other books on pop culture and psychology. Justine regularly blogs about the healing power of fandom for Psychology Today and psychotherapy.net. Outside of the “office,” Justine is the captain/co-host of the Starship Therapise podcast and appears at pop culture conventions around the country (and virtually) teaching yoga and speaking on fandom wellness topics. Justine takes a holistic approach to healing: mind, body, and fandom. You can find her on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @mindbodyfandom. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
