Are you experiencing any anxiety? The biggest anxiety I am experiencing revolves around starting a new job two months before the field placement begins. I have been told that the new place is going to support me doing the internship because they want more MSW where I will be working. However, I am not sure how it is going to work. The unknown is causing anxiety. What helped with your anxiety during your undergraduate internship or during your foundation year internship? The biggest help was having my mentor being my field supervisor. She was gentle and supportive of anything I was experiencing. If you have never practiced in the field, do you feel prepared? N/A If you are experienced, how does it feel to be wearing a student hat? I
Anxiety disorders are the 2nd most diagnosed mental illness in the United States. Anxiety comes from the “fight or flight” physiological response in ones body. The fear a person experiences is an intense emotional alarm accompanied by a surge of energy in the autonomic nervous system. The surge is what motivates us to flee from danger, cueing the “flight” response. However, some anxiety is good for us in moderate amounts. Most people perform better when we are a little anxious (Yerkes & Dodson, 1908). Anxiety can improve test performance or make you more energetic and charming on a date.

Anxiety is defined as a diffuse, internal, loose floating tension that doesn’t have a real danger or an external object. There is also a significant difference from the notion of fear. Fear usually has an outer object (a real fear of a snake, height or an unreal fear, when the danger is just imagined). Anxiety does not have an external object or external danger but has an internal danger. Internal danger can be some intrapsychic conflict, impulse unacceptable to the ego, suppressed thoughts, etc.
While many first year college students are over stressed and constantly in a state of panic or fear, I was able to teach my brain how to relax and keep stress to a minimum. It is because of this that my first year of college has been relatively easier then
From writing research papers till dawn to scouring head to toe for internships, plus the amount of student debt I’ll struggle with after graduation, as a college student, it’s safe to say I have a lot on my plate. With all these thoughts running through my head, I think it’s even safer to say that I’m stressed. In fact, I’m more than stressed. I’m constantly overthinking about lab assignments that may have faulty calculations. I’m holding back tears at the thought of failing my marketing class. I dread waking up in the morning. I am struggling with something worse than student debt and failed exams though, I am drowning in my own fear. Anxiety is similar to an avalanche, at first small and unrecognizable but over time without intervention it

Working with the clients at Silver Saddle, facilitating anger management group and being able to identify the clients needs have been the greatest experience that has had a large impact on my learning. Working with clients helped me set a professional standpoint while maintain healthy boundaries with my clients, which is something I struggled with because I wanted to be more like a mom to the clients.

I am fascinated by the shifts I am aware of as I travel further down this path. In internship, I have noticed a lot of shifting in this particular quarter. There are a lot systemic challenges I am facing, but I feel like I am in this unique spot in my counseling work. Things feel turbulent in many ways; however, I feel truly connected with my clients. I see them. It is more than being present with them. I am not quite sure how to put it into words, but there is an energy I am aware of.

I experienced to look for a job, pass resume, being interviewed and waiting for a call from a company. I admit that it’s really hard and tiring to look for a job. After all the struggles, I received a call from the company where I want to get in and spend my internship. I got accepted to work and do my internship at Philippine Airlines, for me I take this as an opportunity since I really want to work in airlines. I worked at Philippine Airlines for almost a month. I was assigned in Human Capital specifically Compensation Division. At first, I find difficulty in adjusting to this
