Gottlieb argues that trolling is not simply a form of online harassment, but rather a complex and often misunderstood phenomenon that can reveal a great deal about our own inner lives.

She writes, "Trolling is a way of expressing our own pain and vulnerability. It is a way of reaching out to others who may be suffering from similar wounds."

Gottlieb draws on her own experiences as a troll to illustrate her points. She writes about how she used trolling as a way to cope with her own feelings of anger and loneliness.

She also writes about how trolling can be a way of connecting with others who are also struggling. She writes, "When we troll, we are not just trying to hurt others. We are also trying to connect with them."

Gottlieb's book is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the complex phenomenon of trolling. She offers a new perspective on trolling, one that sees it not as a form of online harassment, but rather as a way of expressing and healing our own wounds.

The Fisher King Archetype

Gottlieb's book is also informed by the myth of the Fisher King. The Fisher King is a mythical figure who is said to be the guardian of the Holy Grail. He is often depicted as a wounded king who is unable to heal until he finds the Grail.

Gottlieb argues that the Fisher King archetype is a powerful symbol of the wounded healer. She writes, "The Fisher King represents the part of us that is wounded and in need of healing. He also represents the part of us that has the potential to heal others."

Gottlieb's book explores the ways in which we can use the Fisher King archetype to heal our own wounds and to help others heal theirs.

Reimagining The Wound

In the final chapter of her book, Gottlieb offers a new way of thinking about the wound. She writes, "The wound is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength. It is a sign that we have survived something difficult."

Gottlieb encourages us to reimagine our wounds as sources of strength and resilience. She writes, "When we embrace our wounds, we become more powerful. We become more compassionate. We become more whole."

Trolling With The Fisher King is a powerful and inspiring book that offers a new perspective on the complex phenomenon of trolling. Gottlieb's book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in understanding the psychology of trolling and its potential for healing.
