At first glance, no one would have ever said that Julia would have a very promising career in the business world. Before college her parents - perhaps wise, perhaps overindulgent - had encouraged her to focus on what she really loved doing rather than on employability. Consequently sheâd decided, late in her second year, that her lifelong passion was going to be psychological therapy and counseling. Sure, it didnât appear to offer the same sort of lucrative career prospects that engineering, programming, or business majors did; but then again, as she rationalized, who wanted to be those sort of people anyway? Not her!
Few could have foreseen that thanks to a bit of ingenuity and a nice stroke of luck, she would get hired on by a major international banking corporation; its board was just then trying to expand the HR department to safeguard the mental well-being of their high-strung and highly stressed analysts, investment portfolio managers, and finance officers. Sheâd quickly worked her way up through HR thanks to her charm, common sense, and brains, and within five years sheâd become the head of her very own sub-department branded the Positive Mental Health Zone.
It was here that Julia began dabbling in age regression as a means of relaxation. It had gotten a bad rap because of its association with attachment theory and hypnosis, she argued - not to mention its dubious implementation by amateurs. What was needed, she maintained, was to salvage the demonstrably relaxing and psychologically integrating effects of age regression and to leave the hypnosis and false memories issues out of it. In short, she proposed providing an environment in which stressed-out employees would be encouraged and even expected to regress as young as they liked without fear of judgment or negative consequences.
Juliaâs techniques, though controversial at first, began to receive positive attention due to the unusually positive results she achieved. See that lovely âtoddlerâ in the above photo, trying her best to make a clumsy little curtsy for Miss Julia? Thatâs actually one of the companyâs senior portfolio managers; sheâd been on the verge of breakdown just a few weeks ago⌠And now? Well, what do you think? Look behind that ruffled dress, that adorably silly waddle, that bulky ruffled diaper, the pacifier jammed in her mouth - and youâll find a genuine smile. Sheâs in her happy place now - a place where none of her everyday worries can find herâŚ
As for Julia? Well, sheâd say sheâs just happy to be able to make a difference and contribute to a great advance in psychotherapy. But get her in private, maybe over a few drinks, as I have - and she just might confide a naughty little truth. After all, sheâd slur in her charming voice, itâs such an absolute pleasure to see those hoity-toity executives reduced to waddling and crawling about in diapersâŚcompletely in Juliaâs charge. And with a final alluring wink, she might even tell you that sheâd love to do the same with youâŚ
