How Fiction Gives Voice to Invisible Wounds.

What if the story that changes your life isn’t found in a
psychology textbook… but in a fantasy novel?

This week on Notes From the Edge, Lisa Lacy
sits down with author and
world-builder Justin Anderson to
explore how fiction can become a bridge to healing for people who
struggle to put their pain into words.

Justin never intended to build a mythology around grief,
trauma, and resilience. What began as an attempt to write a
fantasy novel became an entire universe where invisible wounds
become visible, pain becomes power, and storytelling becomes a
form of emotional processing.

Together, Lisa and Justin explore why some people
connect more deeply with stories than self-help, how labels can
become cages, the psychology of externalizing trauma, and why
imagination sometimes opens doors that logic cannot.

Whether you’re a reader, writer, therapist, first responder,
caregiver, or someone carrying an invisible weight, this
conversation asks a powerful question:

Can fiction become the language our nervous systems have
been waiting to hear?

Join us for a thoughtful conversation about trauma, identity,
healing, and the stories that quietly reshape our lives.

Welcome to the Edge.
