Case Study
The scenario that is going on with Katya, the stress and anxiety she
that there is not much time with the amount of workload they are given.
Katya is one of those students who feel they must over achieve in everything
because that is what they are supposed to do. Although, she is diligent and
dedicated to her studies she lacks the ability of self-care. Katya is a great
student and does not know how to relax, which hurt her body with the
this past semester during season at least an hour every day to and from
school every day. When I was at practice, I was worrying about going to work
on time, when I was at work I was uneasy about the amount of school work I
realize that by not taking the time to take a step back that it would affect my
that I called my sister and she told me the only way you can fx yourself is

by having time for yourself. After that, I took a step back, dedicated a day
to myself, and reminded myself about the lesson of taking care of my body.
There are multiple ways to decrease test anxiety and other school
students to increase their energy levels as they relax their minds and bodies
to decrease test anxiety (76). One approach to relieving body tension and
breathing and mouth exhalation technique. This routine has four steps,
coming from, and taking a deep nostril breath while exhaling through the
mouth (76). This method, if repeated, can reduce tension in specifc areas.
In order for Katya to build her self-efficacy, she must believe that in
order for her to thrive in the classroom, she must develop skills outside the
professional help, especially after the panic attack she had before her
chemistry exam. Her roommates, professors, and those generally around her
livelihood and that could be dangerous. She needs to accept that she is not
perfect and that those who care for her accept her even with her
to decrease anxiety are to seek help when I need it. Sometimes in life it is
can grow intellectually, and knowing that we have support helps in the long
run. Lastly, before school starts it is a good idea to come up with realistic
expectations of one. This could be done by creating short term goals that are
achievable, but at the same time the individual is able to push him or herself.
I believe every college student should learn how to cope with stress and
