That sounded promising, and for the first time in a while, I felt hopeful. However, I had one important question: “How much do you charge per session?”

“$80 per visit,” he replied matter-of-factly.

I quickly calculated the costs. Three sessions a week at $80 each would add up to a staggering amount over a year. I hesitated and finally said, “I’ll have to think about it. I’ll sleep on it, and if I decide to go through with it, I’ll be back.”

He nodded knowingly, as if he had heard that before, and we parted ways.

Six months later, I unexpectedly ran into the psychiatrist on the street. He recognized me and asked, “Hey, I never saw you back at my office. Did you find another way to deal with your fear?”

I grinned. “Yep, and it only cost me ten bucks!”

His eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Ten bucks? How did you manage that?”

The psychiatrist stared at me, momentarily speechless. I could tell he wasn’t as amused as I was, but I found it hilarious. Not only had I conquered my childhood fear in the simplest way possible, but I also saved a fortune! In fact, I saved so much that I bought myself a brand-new SUV. Talk about a win-win!

And let’s not overlook the practicality of the bartender’s advice. How often do we let small worries consume us when a simple solution is right in front of us? Instead of spending hundreds of dollars analyzing my fear, I eliminated the problem at its root. No space under the bed? No monster. End of story.
