THE Book
Starship Therapise: Using Fanfiction to Rewrite Your Life
Harnessing the power of fandom—from Game of Thrones to The Legend of Zelda—to conquer anxiety, heal from depression, and reclaim balance in mental and emotional health.
Starship Therapise explores the ways in which narratives and play inform the shape of our lives, inviting readers to embrace radical self-care with lessons from Westworld’s Maeve and Dolores, explore anxiety with Miyazaki, and understand narrative therapy with Arya Stark. Spanning fandom from Star Wars to Harry Potter, The Legend of Zelda to Steven Universe, and everywhere in between, Starship Therapise is an invitation to explore mental health and emotional wellness without conforming to mainstream social constructions.
THE CREW
Learn more about the hosts of Starship Therapise, Justine Mastin—our very own Captain Kirk—and Larisa A. Garski, who shares a love of logic with Mr. Spock.
