can I cut this plant down?

This plant has nearly reached the ceiling and is too big for the room it is in! can I cut it down without causing it irrepairable grief?

Yes. Just lop it off. The plant will assume an animal has nibbled at it, and just keep growing.

Yes,I have cut down this plant and it has grown a double stem now and looking great. I did it late summer and it really took off the following spring.
