During the counseling process, I asked my client
about her problem. She answered "pressure from
studying", however this problem is not caused by
her family but by herself. She claims that even
though her mother is supportive, she still feels like
she needs to do her best, excel in every activity and
get high scores and grades. According to her, the
cause of her problem is academic pressure from
friends. She feels like she needs to do the same and
have high grades just like her peers because in that
way she feels validated and feels belong. She also
talked about the different effects of it to her
physical and mental health. In the physical aspect,
she feels this intense eagerness that she needs to
do all her school works at once, resulting to her
forgetting to eat. In the mental aspect, she starts to
question her own abilities
and doubt herself even
though she is capable.As a counselor, I presented
different solutions that can
help solve her problems.
The following are the
solutions that I have
presented for her: time
management, however if this does not work trying
to make a to-do list can also be effective because it
can lessen the overload of information in her
brain, having breaks and taking breaths can also
make her feel relieved and relaxed, asking friends
for help is a good tip because she is not a robot,
she cannot do everything on her own and she
needs someone to be there for her, and lastly,
finding new hobbies to divert her attention, to
lessen the stress she is feeling, to recharge, and of
course to enjoy and have fun.
Based on her experience, | could totally say that
also feel the same way as her. The feeling of
needing to excel on every schoolwork can really
make you feel stressed and burned out. This
counselling session has opened my eyes that other
people also feel the same way like me. Maybe I
could use the solutions that I have said to her to
myself also.
