Current Presentation: The patient, a 32-year-old female, presented with anxiety and stress related to her recent job change and relocation. She reported experiencing frequent panic attacks and difficulty sleeping, which have significantly impacted her daily functioning and overall well-being. Session Content: During the session, we discussed the patient's feelings of overwhelm and fear of failure in her new role. She expressed concerns about meeting expectations and shared insights into her perfectionist tendencies. The patient had a significant realization about how her self-imposed pressure contributes to her anxiety. Obstacles, Setbacks and Progress: The main obstacle faced by the patient is her persistent negative self-talk.
