Epiphany Therapy: Difference between revisions

* Across the entirety of ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'', Hinako, who has suffered repeated rape at the hands of her stepfather, makes a few baby steps towards recovery, while acknowledging that she may never be free of her pain. Still, she considers the steps she has made, such as {{spoiler|being able to begin a relationship with Daisuke}}, "miracles", which she never would have thought herself capable of.

 

* The Martian Manhunter had a deep seated fear of fire as his [[Achilles' Heel]], which made the second most powerful being in [[DC Comics]] Earth vulnerable to matches. Thanks to some epiphany therapy with a flame-powered hottie, he managed to remove the fear... only to discover it was a mental block placed by non-[[Neglectful Precursors]] to avoid his species becoming [[Exclusively Evil|psychotic fire demons]] drunk on power. That ended well.

* An issue of ''[[X-Factor (comics)|X-Factor]]'' had the team going to therapeutic with Doc Samson (the [[Marvel Universe]]'s resident superhero psychiatrist). It helps some of them a little, and makes no difference to others. Then, more recently, much of the original team goes back to him...and it's noted by Samson that they're significantly more messed up.
