Summary:

"Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz works with an African American woman in her 30s who is suffering from physiological, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms of anxiety, primarily related to her divorce. Using cognitive behavioral techniques such as psychoeducation and cognitive reframing, Abramowitz first asks the client to define anxiety and then encourages her to think about anxiety as a response to the perception of threat. Together, they generate a written list of the client's symptoms. Abramowitz then normalizes the client's experience and educates her about the protective factors of anxiety and the purpose of the fear response. Subsequently, the client provides a specific example of "making an over-estimate in thinking" which involves the person she is divorcing. Abramowitz suggests alternative thoughts and strategies for cognitive restructuring. To conclude, he recommends that the client seek additional help to continue to address her anxiety"
