First thing you learn in swimming rescue.

If you are trying to help a drowning victim and they grab on to you, push yourself deeper underwater. The victim will let go and keep trying to get to the air.

The issue presented is a complex one. For anyone else stumbling across this, I have an optimal solution after having lived through this: delete your Instagram account. This solution is a net positive for everyone.

Plot twist: the therapist was just trying to make the patient feel more empowered and seen by agreeing to confront her spouse
