Spontaneous consultation

An explosion of ideas and collaborative exchange of information with colleagues, office mates, clinical supervisors or spouses, caused by a localized anxiety-increasing reaction for the clinician needing ideas and/or inspiration for client care and may or may not involve the addition of an alcoholic beverage.

Often characterized by a sudden bursting into an anxiety-fueled monologue with, hopefully, another professional, regarding a complicated case that has one perplexed, feeling inadequate, hopeless, or in amazement about.

As soon as I got home from work I had a spontaneous consultation with my wife about an issue at work.
