This is Tommy. Tommy is eight years old and he recently found out he has a phobia. Tommy has Ablutophobia, which is a fear of bathing. Tommy developed this fear after having a traumatic event in the bath a few years ago.
Tommy has found it hard to make friends in school because of his hygiene. Lots of kids at his school make fun of him.

Tommy goes to the doctor with his mom often to find out a way to cure his phobia.

The doctor tells Tommy that if he doesn't find a way to cure the phobia it could progress to a social phobia and even body image disorder.

The doctor recommends cognitive-behavioral therapy to Tommy. This type of therapy might involve stuff such as, sitting in the bathroom listening to the water run.

Tommy's doctor also recommended medications and even hypnosis. The doctor keeps reminding Tommy that this phobia is highly treatable by trained professionals.

After about a year of the treatments Tommy is finding himself showering without even thinking about it. He no longer has a phobia of showering.
