Megan frowned, sitting in the waiting room of the clinic. She was nervous. It was her first time getting treated for her mysophobia, or fear of germs. Among all illnesses, she hated colds the most, as they were the most frequent. Little did she know, she would have to deal with her fear much sooner than she expected.
Her therapist entered into the waiting room not much later, waving goodbye to the client that had been in the room with her before smiling at Megan. “You must be Megan, right? Please, come into my office,” she offered kindly, stepping aside to let the other woman through.
It was a good session overall, the beginning to a path of healing from the fear, and her therapist extended the door, letting her out of the office. “First sessions can sometimes be a lot for clients, so if this was intense for you, I’d reccomend doing something to relax yourself with. But, I think it was a great first session, nonetheless, I’ll see you next week.”
