This was shocking to me. I literally did a mental double take when she told me. I actually reached out to be held but have no memory of it happening.

Wow, your therapist went to the doctor with you? That's awesome!
I also have a phobia of doctors and I have a checkup today and am scared. My therapist would never ever accompany me to the doctor's office though. Isn't that crossing boundaries? Don't get me wrong I am happy for you, just that they are not supposed to see clients out of their therapeutic setting, at least from what I have read.
