Video Clips

Presenting Issue: Presentation Anxiety

This video is an example of a first and second session and is a case study of someone experiencing performance anxiety. In this example, the problem is very specific. The aim of the video clips is to provide you with an example of structuring the first session and how to continue with the assessment and carry on to the next session.

This is just one way of approaching the first and second session and it is specific to the presenting problem. If, however, the client was experiencing Depression or presented with more than one problem then it is important to bear in mind that it is more than likely that it would take longer than two sessions to get relevant information. For example, it may take two sessions just to gather the information covered in Session 1 in the video clip. It may also take up to four or five session to cover the topics in Session 1 and Session 2 in the video clips.

Please note, some of the work undertaken in Session 2 will be covered on weekend three and four of the Diploma in CBT/REBT so please practice only the topics covered in your training weekends.
