INT. THERAPY OFFICE - DAY
The room is warmly lit, with comfortable chairs placed opposite each other. A wooden desk is neatly organized with a few therapy books and a small plant. A clock ticks softly on the wall.
DR. MILLER
(sits in the chair with a notepad on his lap, offering a warm and inviting smile)
Good afternoon, Sarah. How are you feeling today?
SARAH
(sits down, visibly nervous, her hands fidgeting with the edge of her sweater)
I'm... I'm okay, I guess. Just a bit anxious.
DR. MILLER
(nodding understandingly)
That's perfectly alright. This is a safe space, and it's okay to feel nervous. Can you tell me more about what's causing your anxiety?
SARAH
(taking a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly)
I’ve been overwhelmed at work, and it feels like I'm constantly under pressure. I'm scared of making mistakes.
DR. MILLER
(leaning in slightly, with empathy)
That sounds really challenging. It’s important to acknowledge that it’s okay to feel pressured and anxious. Have you experienced similar feelings before?
SARAH
(nodding)
Yes, but it's gotten worse over the past few months. I can't seem to control it anymore.
DR. MILLER
(scribbling notes)
It's important that we explore these feelings deeply. What do you think has changed in the past few months that might have intensified these feelings?
SARAH
(hesitating, then speaking softly)
I think it started when I was given more responsibilities at work. I want to do well, but I feel like I'm failing.
DR. MILLER
(offering reassurance)
Feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities is common, Sarah. Acknowledging this feeling is the first step to managing it. Have you been able to talk to anyone at work or in your personal life about these feelings?
SARAH
(shaking her head)
No, I haven't. I'm afraid they'll think I'm incapable or weak.
DR. MILLER
(smiling gently)
It’s understandable to feel that way. But reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's work on some strategies so you can start feeling more in control. How does that sound?
SARAH
(offering a small, hopeful smile)
That sounds good. Thank you, Dr. Miller.
DR. MILLER
(nodding affirmatively)
You’re very welcome, Sarah. We’ll take this one step at a time together.
(The camera slowly pans out as Dr. Miller and Sarah continue their conversation in a calm and reassuring manner.)
