Hm... maybe I'd have the taboo being "go into therapy," with the
games-wonkage bit being that if you ever get anyone else's help with taking
dots off your stress meter (either failed or hardened) you lose the charges
you're carring.  People would still go to therapy when they got desperate,
but it would make scheduling interesting - and eventually people would know
you gotta kack the phobomancer when he's coming out of his therapist's
office.  (Just like you kack the epideromancer when she's coming out of her
doctor's office.)
