Episode 113 of The Magnus Archives, "Breathing Room", is the first time a horror canon has made me less afraid of something. i don't know how to feel about that?
I don't know if it's in the same sense, but I have heard other people mention the show helping them manage specific fears or generalized anxiety. It's definitely a thing.
To stay in the general TMA neighbourhood, I have used The Bifrost Incident as a sort of exposure therapy to become unscared of cosmic horror nonsense, lol.
I can totally believe it helps with generalised anxiety too, I know a good scare sometimes helps me with mine. I think I saw a study about this even?
