Anxiety: Rebecca Philips
Virtual PatientIn this simulation activity, learners will participate in a counseling program with Rebecca, who has been experiencing ongoing, low-grade anxiety about people, relationships, deadlines, and her own performance. Rebecca's anxiety stems from her tumultuous childhood, raised by her father after her mother's sudden death and his subsequent addiction to alcohol. The simulation will provide learners with the opportunity to practice counseling skills and techniques to help Rebecca manage her anxiety and develop coping mechanisms to overcome her childhood trauma. Learners will work with Rebecca to identify triggers, develop relaxation techniques, and establish a plan to move forward. This simulation is designed to help learners develop the skills and confidence needed to work with clients facing anxiety and other mental health challenges, including communication, goal-setting, and coping mechanisms. By practicing real-world scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, learners will be better prepared to provide quality care to clients in their future counseling careers.
