Emily – Case study 2, AnxietyEmily – Case study 2, Anxiety. Emily is a 10-year-old girl living with her mother, father, and two younger brothers in a suburban neighbourhood. She was brought to the attention of Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services due to Emily’s experiences of anxiety reported by her parents and teachers. Emily’s anxiety manifests primarily in social situations and academic settings, where she often physically shakes, sometimes sweats, and avoids eye contact. Her parents describe her as highly sensitive and perfectionistic, often worrying about making mistakes or being judged by others. Emily herself describes feeling like “everybody is looking at me and I can’t seem to do anything right”. Emily’s family environment is a maintaining factor in her anxiety. Her mother is nurturing but tends to be overprotective, shielding Emily from perceived stressors. Her mother has also identified that she has experiences similar to those that Emily describes and, although she has never been diagnosed as having anxiety, she can certainly relate to how Emily describes her experiences. Her father works long hours and is often absent during weekdays, which Emily finds distressing as she worries about his safety. However, her father says that he can’t reduce work in his very demanding job because he needs to make enough money to feed the household. The two younger brothers, aged 7 and 5, receive a lot of attention due to their energetic personalities, sometimes leaving Emily feeling overlooked or pressured to excel academically to stand out. Emily’s treatment plan includes cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) aimed at identifying and challenging negative thought patterns contributing to her anxiety. For example, she is being encouraged to identify thoughts which signal an over-estimation of danger and those that signal an under-estimation of her ability to cope. Therapy sessions focus on supporting Emily to manage within anxiety provoking situations. building resilience, coping skills, and gradually exposing Emily to anxiety-provoking situations in a controlled manner. Family therapy sessions help improve communication and support within the household, addressing parental concerns, including education about the role the family can play in supporting Emily, and fostering a helpful environment for Emily’s emotional development.
