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.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
