Summary:

In this fifth session of six, Dr. Amy Wenzel uses cognitive behavior therapy to work with a 24-year-old man who is struggling with anxiety and mild depression, both of which are affecting his academic performance and behavior at work. Since the last session, the client's anxiety has increased slightly due to a "crunch time" of exams, projects, and the job application process before graduation. Dr. Wenzel reviews the client's thought record and success log from the previous week, and they discuss how the client has begun to put distance between himself and his automatic thoughts on a more consistent basis, while overcoming traps like "all-or-nothing" thinking or catastrophizing by relying on alternative responses. They spend time discussing the client's anxiety surrounding various aspects of the upcoming job search process, paying particular attention to patterns of avoidance, and weighing different methods of goal-setting, behavior modification, and rewards. They also discuss advantages and disadvantages associated with changing some behaviors. Dr. Wenzel concludes by assigning the client several tasks between now and the final session (3 weeks away), including the continuation of the thought record and success log, and a breakdown of tasks related to the job search process
