But cartoonist Lynda Barry says talk therapy is too expensive. She says that writers workshop are the new talk therapy of the masses. There, people are forced to use craft to distance themselves from their trauma and exhaust their emotional reaction to it.

Over here talk therapy isn’t too expensive, it’s free. You just have to wait 18 weeks for an appointment, by which time you probably won’t even need the appointment because you’re already dead.
If that's not absurd, then I don't know what absurd means. I think our folks in charge here, my beloved Banana Republic, might out do yours. Pre Covid, a public hospital refused to service a pregnant woman, telling her that her date of birth wasn't due yet for atleast several weeks. The poor woman was pushed outside by security. ''Money doesn't talk, it swears'' Bob Dylan said. She had no other choice but to head to a bench on the side of the road, and give birth to her baby by herself.
I think gyms can be a new form of talk therapy too. Not really a gym goer much here, but my impression is that people in general help each other in weight rooms, in any way, both the physical and mental parts. Somehow everyone is equal, the novice guys or the bulky year in year out dudes. Atleast that's how good gyms operate.
I totally agree. Gyms have always been a proving ground for story ideas. And alternating exercise with writing a rough draft works well. Often I've discarded an idea, then months or years later a gym rat will ask me if I've written that story. If it's stuck in someone's mind that long, the story is worth tackling.
