evil therapy au we cooked up on the Lenn constellation server.
schizophrenic Techno has had a really, really bad experience with therapists and psych wards in the past. But he and his newest therapist are really hitting it off! This Philza guy is great. He isn’t treating techno like he’s evil, or scary, or dismissing the stress of his mental illness. It’s kinda life changing for techno to have someone know what he’s going through and genuinely support him in a way that’s still honoring his agency, personhood, and intellect.
The problem, uh, being. That Philza sees that. And comes to the conclusion that Techno needs him. His role as a therapist is too limiting since he’s Techno’s only support. And after techno’s cut contact with his parents, dwindling friends, series of ablist bosses, and catastrophe of previous medical ‘professionals’, Philza decides no one else can be trusted to help. But that’s okay <3 Philza can be everything for techno <3 <3
he starts to get uneasy about Phil and intrusive thoughts pounce, voices screaming about how he can’t trust Philza. Except it’s all in ways that are genuinely happening. So techno is telling Philza all his paranoia of Philza, meaning he can immediately either get subtler or tell Techno it’s normal and coach him on ignoring the red flags.
Even worse, Phil has the power to control Techno’s meds.Getting things laced with oxytocin or whatever and giving that to techno at the start of their interactions to force techno’s brain to associate him with positive rewards, force techno to love him.
On the flip side, whenever techno does things Phil doesn’t like it’s incredibly easy to get him plummeting. On days techno plans to go out, mixtures that crash his mood or make him tired. Or fake anti psychotics because ‘stress just makes the hallucinations worse, you must be too stressed going outside and should just stay in’
Techno breaking down crying because all the voices are screaming at him not to take the meds and dragging Phil’s name in the mud even thought this is the only person who helps him.
