These are the times when sanity becomes a definitely attractive option, even for the Oaqui.

For Oaqui and non-Oaqui alike the return to some version of relative sanity frequently requires the assistance of a full-time expert -- a Professional Therapist who is intimately familiar with the practice of the therapy, who has spent a life time in its pursuit, and has made it a life's work.

Fun, as we know, is endemic to the nature of any Oaqui enterprise. Thus, unlike the non-Oaqui forms of therapy, all Oaqui therapies are Fun Therapies. Amongst the Oaqui, the term Play Therapy is redundant.

It is interesting to note how parallel, yet non-intersecting are the practices of Oaqui Therapy and non-Oaqui so-called Play Therapy. Whereas amongst the non-Oaqui, Play Therapy is for children, Oaqui (inherently fun) Therapy sessions are for adults. Whilst amongst the non-Oaqui the goal is to help patients confront primal pain, betwixt the Oaqui nothing is more therapeutic nor more primal to confront than fun.

A typical Oaqui Therapy session may involve hours of intense silliness punctuated by moments of sheer hysteria, until it is generally agreed that the patient/s has/ve been able to recover another moment of absolute fun.

Through marathon sessions, sometimes attended by a whole team of Oaqui fun Therapist/s, the Oaqui is ultimately given the opportunity to relive those truly primal moments of rapturous laughter which are so central to the formation of the Oaqui character: to the first total tickle, the first wet-your-pants giggles, the first ecstasy of achievement. Amongst the Oaqui, these early and momentary experiences are the most powerful examples of what the non-Oaqui classify as trauma. For the Oaqui Therapist, these are the moments of Primal Glee.

The Oaqui Therapist is greatly admired for his/her mastery over a wide variety of Glee-evoking techniques and tools, but even more admired for his/herself/ves'/'s personal capacity for Glee. Amongst the Oaqui, none is more continually and reliably Glee-prone than the Oaqui Therapist.

Another significant deviation between Oaqui Therapy and the kinds of so-called play therapies practiced amongst the non-Oaqui is age factor. Whilst amongst the non-Oaqui it is the adult and most senior therapist who commands the greatest respect and salary, amongst the Oaqui, the younger the Therapist, the more highly his/her services are valued. In truth, many of our most cherished and revered of Oaqui Therapist/s is/are known to be /a/ mere child/ren, often merely in the early twenties: months, sometimes weeks, sometimes days, even.
