Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character gets someone out of a Heroic BSOD by slapping them.
 * Straight: Danny has a breakdown, so Julia slaps him in the face to bring him to his senses.
 * Exaggerated: Julia gives Danny a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to snap him out of his Heroic BSOD.
 * Justified: Danny is being incredibly wangsty, and this is the only way to get through to him.
 * Inverted:
 * Julia hugs Danny and tells him it'll be okay.
 * Alternatively, Julia slaps Danny while he's calm. It makes him angry.
 * Alternatively, Danny calms himself down by slapping Julia.
 * Subverted:
 * Julia marches angrily up to Danny, as if she's about to hit him. Then her face softens, and she gently consoles him instead.
 * Alternately, Julia slaps Danny, but that only pushes him even further into his breakdown.
 * Double Subverted:
 * She tells him she's going to get something that will help, and leaves. A few moments later she returns with a glass of cold water, splashes it all over him, and yells at him to get a grip.
 * So Julia slaps Danny again and it brought him to his senses.
 * Parodied: Danny hits back. He and Julia get into a fistfight.
 * Deconstructed:
 * Julia's treatment of Danny doesn't get him out of HeroicBSODs, it just makes his emotional problems worse. It gets so bad he's eventually Driven to Suicide, and Julia bitterly regrets her actions.
 * See Parodied, only Julia was Bullying a Dragon and is severly hurt.
 * Reconstructed: The suicide attempt fails, and Julia, determined to make amends, stops being harsh with him and instead helps him to overcome his problems. This results in Character Development for both.
 * Zig Zagged: Julia's mostly nice to Danny, helping him through his problems, but when things get really bad she resorts to this.
 * Averted: Danny snaps out of his BSOD by himself.
 * Enforced: "Julia's not the type to put up with Wangst, so it'd be in character for her to react like this."
 * Lampshaded: "Thanks, I needed that."
 * Invoked: Hit Me Dammit
 * Exploited: ???
 * Defied: ???
 * Discussed: "I know he was being whiny, but you didn't have to hit him like that!"
 * Conversed: ???
