agoraphobia
–noun Psychiatry .an abnormal fear of being in crowds, public places, or open areas, sometimes accompanied by anxiety attacks.
I had a client recently with this disorder. She was very upfront and honest about it. I was thankful for the opportunity to meet her yet I realized I had zero knowledge on the subject,or how to help make being in my chair easier! Once we got chatting the appointment went very well. She shared with me her struggles with agoraphobia,praised her patient husband and 3 happy children and her new style was cut and dried before she knew it. Victory! She had survived,she felt beautiful AND she had fun! Victory! I love my job....;)
compassion
