Student Anxiety - A Success Story

Many students put a lot of pressure on themselves to do well. We recently had a student referred to us via a neurologist who was suffering from severe headaches. Neither MRI's nor stress tests could find anything wrong. Sent to us as a last resort this individual was concerned that with the ongoing migraine style headaches he might not be able to return for his first year masters program.

Following only a few sessions where the initial emphasis was relaxation, he realized that much of his problem was stress related. The next step showed him how he could bring on a headache at will. By teaching how to bring on a headache it becomes easier to understand how you can also control a headache in a flash.

This was a revelation and in the next session he discovered the source of his stress, which turned out to be completely self-imposed. He was demanding too much of himself and putting too great an emphasis on what he "felt" were the expectations of others.

He continues to practice relaxation and listens to a personalized induction that helps reemphasize that we often put more on our shoulders than we need too. Our internalized thoughts of what others are thinking can do a great deal of harm.

He is back at school and enjoying his year more than he ever has in the past - living to learn rather than living to please others.
