Simulated Counseling Session With a Tween: Perfectionism (CBT)

For more child/adolescent counsleing resources, visit www.acachild.org This video depicts a counseling session between a student and a counselor focused on managing academic stress and perfectionism. Current Challenges: Academic Pressure: The student is overwhelmed by upcoming robotics competitions, a math decathlon, and a recent dip in grades. Organizational Struggles: Lack of sleep has caused the student to lose focus in class, leading to a breakdown in their detailed color-coded note-taking system. Physical Symptoms: When stressed, the student experiences a tightening in the chest, lightheadedness, and nausea. Negative Self-Talk: The student views scores of 95 as failures, believing they will never get into their dream school (Harvard) and fearing they will end up homeless. Counseling Intervention: Reframing Perfectionism: The counselor helps the student recognize that a 95 is still an "A" and that even highly intelligent people, such as teachers, make mistakes without catastrophic consequences. Social Comparison: They discuss how other successful students are happy with scores of 90 or 95, suggesting that perfection is not a prerequisite for success. Positive Affirmations: The student is encouraged to replace negative thoughts ("I'm a failure") with positive ones ("I'm a great student" and "a 95 is good enough") to improve their mood and sleep. Action Plan: Daily Affirmations: The student plans to tell themselves they are a good student every morning and may even write these affirmations down. Conscious Thought Correction: When receiving a grade lower than 100, the student will practice thinking about their overall strong academic record instead of focusing solely on the mistake.
