| Summary: | In their fifth therapy session, Martin M. Antony uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help a female young adult in her late 20s manage academic and parenting-related anxiety and stress. At this juncture in therapy, the client reports that her panic attacks have subsided. In particular, filling out thought records have helped her manage her anxiety and stress, including allowing her to put in perspective a recent injury sustained by her daughter. Antony and the client determine that maintaining change will be an important goal. Now that her morbid thinking pattern is largely resolved, they are able to work on issues with body image and sexual dysfunction. Antony underscores the need for her to be cognizant of her anxiety triggers and patterns of avoidance.
