One of the amazing things about writing fiction is that you do get to be other people.

When you're true to who you are, amazing things happen.

The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for.

Winning is an amazing feeling. You don't get that in business; you don't get that in many things.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

Writing does change you, and of course it feels good to do things, so you could say writing is de facto therapeutic. But really, one writes to write.
