Case Study B – ERP for OCD as a Company Director
Client Profile
- Name: Robin
- Age: 39
- Occupation: Director of Sales from a Multinational Company
- Location: Dublin/New York
- Issue: Difficulties to perform at meetings without medicating
Background
Robin had been working in sales for over 15 years. Robin had managed to go high in a multinational company, and had very good feedback through the years.
However, Robin had a strong believe he had got there by “chance” and he struggled to believe he was performing at a high level.
This had stopped him moving up the ladder further. He self-medicated with anxiety medication, avoided certain meeting and people, and over prepared for “small” meetings.
Bespoke Therapy Approach
- In-depth Assessment:
Over the period of few weeks a detailed assessment the presenting issues, and personal history (from childhood), as well as identified when started to use medication. Identified goals and values were done. We imagery to be able to connect to the actual meetings and understand better believes, emotions, behaviours and physical sensation. - Therapy Sessions:
Bespoke and boutique therapy approach was needed for Robin to overcome some of the blocking believes. We used CBT for performance, and Exposure Therapy. We did so via video, and we arranged for few meetings face to face. - Resilience Based CBT:
Working with Robin, and the position and experience, it was not about teaching skills, it was about reclaiming and adapting the skills that Robin had already. We used Resilience CBT Therapeutic Coaching to do this. - Future Planning:
With 20 sessions over the period of 8 months we had develop a strong resilience and future plan to continue growing and walking towards Robin’s values.
Outcome
Robin stopped taking anxiety management medication, felt more empowered and reclaimed self-believe.
Robin became more self-kind and self-compassionate, leading to a better wellbeing.
