The idea was treated in the doctoral project of Peggy Penn at the Tilburg University in Holland. He says that among others, some rape victims recover very fast from their trauma if they talk about their experience and then write it down on a paper. The patients can rebuild the reality and add in their story a hero person that comes in the right moment and save them from the unpleasant situation. So, this way, the bad memories could disappear.
