"I live in constant fear. It's gotten so that I can't even leave the refrigerator anymore," I told her.

"Have a seat," she said. "Let's take a few deep breaths."

"Okay," I said, breathing in and out slowly.

"Good. Now, do you remember when you first started having this fear?"

"Yes, I was on the counter, still in my wrapper. A large knife appeared and sliced my neighbor off of our stick. I caught a glimpse of her being put onto hot toast as I was being wrapped back up again. I could hear the sizzle... Oh god, the sizzle..." 

"That sounds like it was very difficult for you. It's natural that you would have some trauma around that. At the time, how did you feel about witnessing something like that?"

"It was horrible," I said. "I remember reaching over and feeling that empty space to my left where she used to be. Then, the scene would flash through my mind again. It was weeks before I could sleep."

"Is it hot toast that you're specifically afraid of, or do you think it might be melting in general?"

"Well, I know that everybody melts, but I thought I'd have more time, ya know? Now, I know I'm the next one in line and there's so much I still haven't done with my life."

"It might help to remind yourself that you're adding flavor to the world when you melt. Butter makes the world richer and more flavorful, adding a creamy element to all types of dishes and acting as a glue for pastries and other sweets. It's not necessarily a bad thing."

"I guess it's a matter of perspective. I mean, they say you melt into something and become a part of something bigger than yourself. But I don't want to sizzle. I'm terrified that I'll sizzle."

"For many, it's the struggle against the inevitable that can cause more stress. We know we can't change the melting. So maybe we can build some coping mechanisms to use when you think about melting."
