Summary:

In this second session of six, Dr. Amy Wenzel uses cognitive behavioral 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. Dr. Wenzel begins the session by going over the client's scores on questionnaires assessing anxiety and depression, followed by a discussion about the homework from the previous week (a thought record). They review several recent experiences that triggered the client's symptoms of anxiety and depression, and identify the patterns of automatic negative thinking, cognitive distortions, and thinking traps (e.g., catastrophizing) that emerged. Dr. Wenzel introduces the client to a success log to begin recording times in which he successfully challenged a negative thought or overcame avoidance. She also works to address some of his discomfort with completing worksheets by modifying the assignments. They conclude by discussing a particular example of avoidance that he will attempt to overcome following the session, and Dr. Wenzel encourages the client to think about ways in which he can reward himself for doing so. Finally, they discuss homework (success log and thought record) that he will complete for the following week
