​AGENDA
  • Anxiety - Day 3 - Action
  • ANXIOUS SCENARIOS
    • ​Tiger is a perfectionist. He is smart, capable, and tries hard on everything... Too hard. He panics if he doesn't know the answer right away and because of his past success in school, feels very distraught if he struggles. A 93 on a test might make him cry.
    • Jon is a new kid. He's moved from a small school to a much bigger high school and he's never been outgoing for talkative in new groups. Plus his family dynamic puts a lot of pressure for him to take honors classes and perform well in academics. He feels a lot of stress and needs a break or an outlet for relaxation. 
    • Rusty does not have performance anxiety, but he is very stressed and having intrusive thoughts that pervade his preparation. He's been on stage many times before but only for parents and friends, but he's trying something new. He now has to perform and dance in front of a high school football crowd with a group no male has performed with in recent history.
    • ​Adam just graduated. For years he's been ready for this moment. He's sick of high school but now the time has come. He's made plans to go to college, but now he's not so sure. He thinks, "what if I made the wrong choice? What if I fail? What if I don't find a community as good as I had in high school? High school isn't great, but what if life is worse?"
