Quite possibly one of the most bizarre forms of psychotherapy, anaclitic therapy was used to treat people (mostly adult men) with mommy or daddy issues. It involves a (typically female) therapist drugging the client with LSD, and once fully intoxicated, the client is encouraged to crawl between the legs of the therapist. This is to symbolize the rebirth of the person. The therapist would then tell the patient to sit on her lap and gently rock him, all while feeding him warm milk from a baby bottle. And remember, the client is tripping balls throughout this entire process. To this day, no one knows if those clients actually benefited from anaclitic therapy.
Todd is a grown up man in his early 30s who is still suffering from mommy issues from his childhood. After hearing his friend talk about a rare form of therapy (Anaclitic Therapy) and how it might help him with his troubled past, he was determined to find such a therapist. Completely unaware of the freakishness that was about to happen, Todd decided to schedule an appointment with this anaclitic therapist who resided in the countryside. After one therapy session, Todd came out and never looked at life the same again.
