Behavior:
Client discussed an intense fear of failure, stating, "I’m afraid of trying something new and failing." They described feeling paralyzed when faced with taking the next step in their professional life. Client reported that this fear has led to procrastination and missed opportunities, leaving them feeling stuck in their current position.
Intervention:
The therapist explored how fear of failure often stems from perfectionism and worked with the client on reframing it as a natural part of growth. The therapist suggested setting small, achievable goals to build confidence and encouraged viewing setbacks as learning experiences rather than evidence of failure.
Response:
Client appeared receptive to the reframing techniques and agreed to take on one small challenge at work. They demonstrated openness to the idea of gradually pushing past their comfort zone.
Plan:
Client was assigned homework to identify one low-risk career goal to work toward this week and report back in the next session. The treatment plan will continue to focus on addressing the client’s fear of failure and building confidence through incremental progress.
