There have been a lot of studies that shows the healing power of the pen or keyboard through poetry, it allows those bottled or hidden emotions a place to go and to process it in a healing way. Bigby's response is usually fight or flight response usually choosing fight and in stressful situations but like I said when I noticed Bigby's real issues being psychological and emotional: PTSD, Childhood trauma, daddy issues and trauma not really having the chance to process it like his nightmare of Bloody Mary or seeing 'Snow''s head on the Woodland doorstep after all how do you react to something like that?

Especially since he never really had anyone to actually support him in his most vulnerable state only being seen as the Big Bad Wolf of legend or the Sheriff so a lot of the time he's alone and no matter what he tells himself that he's fine being a lone wolf he's lonely which isn't good for a pack animal.

poetry would help him unbottle those emotions he hides giving him the chance to process everything that's happened including how he was feeling during the Crooked man case.

I know it may sound going against the point that he's meant to not fight and not seem like a brute but these classes might actually help him with controlling and disciplining his strength, learn not to go overboard when fighting.

A Sensei could also give him the fatherly role model he never had beck when he was young and needed one cause the North Wind is basically the worst father to ever live and he root of his childhood trauma and daddy issues so by learning from a Martial artist or a combat instructor he'll be able to properly be heard and seen from a male role model.

It had proven that an animals can really help out those suffering from PTSD, Trauma or disabilities, there are a lot of programs that have service dogs especially in prisons were prisoners help train dogs to help those that need them like PSDs or guide dogs for the blind. Animals (besides cats) are non judgemental only seeing their owner as the most important and wonderful person only seeing them not their past.

So maybe a dog that's fable life span that stops aging at 2 but is non talking with PSD instinct could really help him by giving him motivation to go outside even to just go on walks and interact with others, breakout of his shell, he'd have someone who'd wake him from a PTSD nightmare, help ground him during a panic attack, petting a pet would lower his stress, he'd have someone that sees just him and not his past even when in full wolf form cause they'd recognize his scent, it would give him reason to get a part time job at a calm Fable Mundy Hybrid owned cafe that let him bring his dog to earn some extra cash cause knowing crane he probably cut Bigby's pay to maybe $10 or the lowest pay once every 4 months to help pay his debt to the Crooked man and even though it would get a single person a lot of things but still not much in 1986 giving him financial independence, get him to actually buy food instead of living off just beer and huff n puffs thanks to the extra cash, he starts cooking food, he actually has a reason to do his job as sheriff and a therapy dog in his office would make interacting with others easier for him.

Here's the what if scene that's been in my head for months since thinking of this idea but set in 2015 kind of giving the comics a little modern re introduce since 2000s really limits my creativity after not a lot of stuff wasn't invented yet:

The building has more rooms than tenants so I'm sure they can afford to convert a apartment into a sensory room a space for when things get too much for Bigby.

Dim lights with glow in the dark stickers on the ceiling to make it look like the night sky, plush green carpet to seem like grass, pillows and weighted blankets, make a large section look like a large open tree trunk filled with soft pillows and blankets to give a soft comfy den feel, add some potted plants and potted trees to add natural scent to the room, rope and bones for chewing since it would help relieve stress oh and forest ambience to really feel like the black forest!

By giving him this spot his wolf side will also relax having a safe space, Bigby can decompress from a stressful day or need somewhere to clear his head away from the business office without being too far from being needed when Snow asks for his help it could also benefit Beast too when he needs to decompress.

This may sound a little odd for a guy like him but song writing had been how a lot of people fully express the emotions they can't speak or express themselves so writing down as musical lyrics would allow hem to get what he's actually feel including the fears he'd never admit in a safe way onto paper and close the books so he has privacy.

Wolves naturally use howling to communicate with the pack and express themselves and it's their version of singing and much like humans they have distinct singing voices, individual wolves have unique howling pitches and rhythms and can howl in harmony to trick other packs into thinking there are a larger group, they howl to make Long-distance contact calls, rally cry or howl out of affection for the pack members they are closest to and no wolves don't howl at the moon like that expression 'howling at the moon.'

Since Bigby's wolf side is a European grey wolf with his origin and birthplace in the homelands being like the mundy Black Forest that are rooted in the classical European fairy tales his howl and singing voice would be much more protracted and melodious yet I think that vocal harmony would be in his howl/singing voice too but knowing Bigby he'd rather face Bloody Mary again than let anyone hear his R&B singer voice which was one of the singer types I found when I research who'd have that voice type which I have the feeling that would be his match, so song writing would be the best for a tough guy like him.

He could even write it in a different language to hide the lyrics and hide the book.

Summary: One of the memories Fire Comet shows explained something that Dr Green didn’t tell them about a product they had to deal with a long time ago though it explains so much about the effects it caused. But it’s during the memory after which revealed something ‘Heatwave’ didn’t tell them during the first time they met Chief Burns’s younger brother.
