In the short term, absolutely. But I think my preference would be to work through the actual experience through different methods of therapy so that long term you aren’t forced to choose between reality and a functional existence. I don’t think the MIB eraser device is a good long term coping strategy.

Who is to say that therapy isn't just creating a useful model of your life?

I would hope that it is, but is a more useful model based on reality rather than fabricated delusion.
