    Again the question isn’t if people are nervous in interviews. Pretty much any human who has ever held a job knows this. My comment is that at least to me this screams coping mechanism I have difficulty believing they aren’t anxious about a looot of other things in life. And they can get help.

      Maybe their therapist suggested this. You are making a lot of assumptions about this person with absolutely no information.

      If most of my therapists had been told I did something like this and that it helped me they would ask about it to share as an option with other patients.

      Who cares if it’s a coping mechanism? It’s a healthy coping mechanism, the same as imagining someone dressed as a clown or something. That’s all therapy gives you anyway. Healthy ways to deal with the world around you.
