For example, we all mostly have had breakups that were painful in life at some point. You could write a story about the causes of your breakup (the one that really hurt the most or all of the breakups in your life at once somehow.
But, I can more easily demonstrate how to heal that single breakup. You imagine the argument that caused this or the disagreement that caused this breakup. You put it in another context (say science fiction or comedy or a combination of many things you are writing about.
But this time you are able to watch someone else go through all this and not just be destroyed personally in this situation. You change one or more of the variables and you have a better understanding of what actually happened.
For example, this was a really hard lesson for me with someone I really loved when I was young. She was much younger than me and I was experimenting with dating more than one person at a time because I was young and stupid. She was under 20 and I was also seeing someone 35 at the time and I told her about this. So, she started dating someone else too and I was left out of it and it broke my heart. I realized just how young and stupid I was and never really got over it. So, the next year was pretty awful.
The point is you could write anything you want about a person being young and stupid and in love going through this and change one or more of the variables slightly to be more objective looking at what really happened by not seeing it as something that happened to you but rather something happening to someone else instead and in this way you could see how your immaturity caused the breakup or her immaturity or whatever it was.
So, the object is healing those places inside of you before they do something like give you Cancer and you die from Stuffing it deep inside you. INstead you come to a better understanding of what actually happened in a way you might be better able to cope with.
