Against the background of the fact that he has a mess in his room and debts at the institute, it seems that for him, working with this fear is not the most urgent problem, but rather entertainment that leads away from real life tasks.
Do not entertain yourself with psychotherapy!
People are addicted to psychotherapy in the same way as other entertainments, but this entertainment is not harmless. Psychotherapy, unfortunately, is almost always some amount of negativity. And this is always a distraction from the actual life and development. And when it becomes too much, when people only do what they understand their sores or deal with their feelings, people become not alive and not working, but sick and obsessed.
