Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Test Anxiety and Generalized Anxiety

Öz

Millions of young individuals in Turkey diligently prepare for annual exams that play a critical role in their academic and/or professional lives. During the rigorous exam preparation process, a significant hurdle emerges in the form of exam anxiety—a challenge that profoundly impacts their performance. These exams, designed to distinguish and evaluate individual aptitudes, have become an inherent part of our lives. While a moderate degree of anxiety can enhance exam performance, heightened levels of anxiety pose a serious psychological risk to individuals in these circumstances. Confronted by this risk, an array of negative thoughts, unpleasant emotions, and maladaptive behaviors can manifest among those immersed in exam preparation, particularly among young adults. Prior research has shown Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as an effective approach for alleviating the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). In the present case study, we demonstrate the psychotherapeutic journey of a 24-year-old client who triumphed over anxiety through CBT. Notably, it became evident that this client’s anxiety extended beyond exam-related concerns, encompassing a broader spectrum of challenges in her life. Thus, the therapeutic intervention in this case not only addressed exam-related anxiety but also encompassed a broader exploration of GAD. Post-therapy, a significant alleviation of the client’s distressing symptoms became apparent.
