A doorknob confession is a term used by some clinicians/therapists to define the phenomena of the person receiving therapy, or the client, to divulge something incredibly important or critical in the last few minutes of a therapy session. The content of the "confession" is important enough to cause the session to go on longer than originally planed and may include themes such as: a death in the family, suicidal/self harming thoughts or actions, a relationship crisis, drastic change in living situation, ect.

Those are the dreaded words that doctors hear as they place their hands on the doorknob to leave the treatment room at what they think is the end of the patient encounter. The patient then tells the real reason that they scheduled their visit. This phenomenon frequently is the culprit that disrupts the doctor's schedule for the rest of the day.
