Melissa is a 38-year-old divorced mother of two teenagers. She has had a successful, well-paying career in upper-level management for the past several years. Even though she has worked for the same, thriving company for over 6 years, she's found herself worrying constantly about losing her job and being unable to provide for her children. This worry has been troubling her for the past 8 months. Despite her best efforts, she hasn't been able to shake the negative thoughts.

Since the worry started, Melissa has felt restless, tired, and tense. She often paces in her office when she's there alone. She's had several embarrassing moments in meetings where she has lost track of what she was trying to say. When she goes to bed at night, it's as if her brain won't shut off. She finds herself mentally rehearsing all the worst-case scenarios regarding losing her job, including ending up homeless.
