The Golden Wheel Monk is known as one of the biggest chokers in wulin. Despite having power and skill that could match him favorably against the Greats of the Central Plains, he constantly loses either to them or even weaker opponents due to his lack of mental clutch.
If psychologists/therapists as we know them today were available to the Golden Wheel Monk, could a good one have helped the Golden Wheel Monk overcome his performance anxiety and actually stop choking away fights he could win?
There's definitely potential :)
The modern therapy industry would consider many of JY's characters to be potential patients.
YG --- oedipal complex
HCQ --- food issues
LHC --- substance abuse issues
DFBB, YBQ, LPZ --- gender issues
All of the above plus ZLC and RWX --- megalomania
WXB --- psychopathic tendencies, as well as sex/gambling addiction
Princess Jianning --- sado-masochism
ZWJ --- chronic indecisiveness
Anger Management for Ladies: HR, GF, ZM, RYY, YSS, LMC --- this will teach them to stop cutting arms, ears, asking people to blind themselves, etc. for the most trivial reasons. :D
The shrinks would make a killing (pun intended) on wulin mental patients.Quote:

Cheung Mo Gei would *be* the shrink.Quote:

I agree. JLFW should look for another shrink. ZWJ should specialize on conducting anger management classes. He'd be able to overwhelm the fiercer wulin personalities with his compassionate teachings, and if all else fails, he'd be able to subdue them with his high level of martial arts.Quote:

Cheung Mo Gei could have worked wonders for Kau Cheen Yan.Quote:

This is consistent with my experience in real life that confrontation is the best way to address a big problem.
