What's your relationship with horror movies/series/books?
I ABSOLUTELY love everything to do with Halloween, horror movies, TV series, and books, etc... (Recently talked with a therapist about it and came to the realization that horror feels emotionally safe for me and gives my anxiety somewhere to go. It's almost like it has the effect of emotional release and distracts me from ruminating on negative thought patterns.
Does anyone else get the same effect?
Also, here's an interesting article on using horror as a therapeutic tool:
