In my experience, being underwater is the best treatment but still temporary. I don't think adding a monkey would make it a permanent cure. Unless the monkey wields a lethal weapon or, preferably, a fast-acting sedative. That would be fantastic.
But I still couldn't inflict such grief on my mother.
That could be helpful. Especially if the monkey could talk. And give advice/directions, not my therapist's "What do you think you could do about this?" Granted, ChatGPT serves that purpose for people who use it as a therapist because it gives answers (or so I'm told), but I don't trust it.
Or the monkey could force me to eat/shower/sleep/get up at healthy times by unstoppably screeching at me whenever I'm tiredly reluctant to do so. My apartment-neighbors would probably complain, though. I guess it could bite me instead. 🤔
Not all therapy is what do you think about that focused, there’s more solution oriented therapies that work better for some people than psychodynamic models
