A. H. was a 39-year-old divorced mother of two (son aged 12, daughter aged 7) who worked as a bank manager. However, she had become concerned about her ability to concentrate on and remember information while at work. A. H. had made some “financially disastrous” mistakes and was now—at the suggestion of her supervisor—taking some vacation time to “get her head together.” Because of her concentration and memory problems, it had been taking her longer to complete her work, so she had been arriving at work 30 minutes early each day, and she often took work home. She reported being unable to relax, even outside of work, and at work it was hard to make decisions because she ruminated endlessly (“Is this the right decision, or should I do that?”) and hence tried to avoid making decisions altogether. Her concentration and memory problems were worst when she was worried about some aspect of life, which was most of the time. She reported that 75% of her waking life each day was spent in a state of anxiety and worry. In addition to worrying about her performance at work, she worried about her children’s well-being (whether they had been hurt or killed while out playing in the neighborhood). She also worried about her relationships with men and minor things such as getting to work on time, keeping her house clean, and maintaining regular contact with friends and family. A. H. recognized that her fears were both excessive and uncontrollable, but she couldn’t dismiss any worry that came to mind. She was irritable, had insomnia, had frequent muscle tension and headaches, and felt generally on edge.’
