Discuss the symptoms of stress that Scott is experiencing. What recommendations can you make to Scott for coping with his stress?

Scott is a licensed physical therapist who works for a national rehabilitation company. The rehabilitation facility in which Scott works is located in an urban Southwest city. He has worked at this facility for 4 years, and up until recently was satisfied with his working environment and the interactions he shared with his coworkers. In addition, Scott received personal fulfillment from helping his patients recover from their disabilities and seeing them return to productive lives.
Last year, the health system went through reorganization, with some new people being brought in and others reassigned. Scott’s new boss, George, was transferred from one of the system’s Midwest facilities. Almost immediately upon taking his new position, George began finding fault with Scott’s care plans, patient interactions, and so on. Scott began feeling as if he couldn’t do anything right. He was experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, and selfblame.
Although his previous performance evaluations had been above average, Scott was shocked by his first performance review under George’s authority—George gave him an extremely low rating.
