The person has a deluded sense of changing the world. People learn from stories yes, but regardless of what is intended to be taken away, perception is filtered through our beings to mean whatever our morels and thoughts make it out to be. One cannot change the world in ways that they want through stories. People are not that pliable. Congrats for figuring out people with post traumatic stress are helped with creative writing. It helps them to rationalise in a way that is dissociated with the events that caused their trauma while converting the focus off their circumstances and events. This creates a way to rationalise their situation without focusing on it directly. Also gaining the ability in ones mind that they are doing something about it, making them feel less helpless. But I'm a philosopher, not a psychologist.
