This therapeutic story focuses on intrusive thoughts and repetitive
behaviour, linked to exam anxiety. Everyone knows Gemma always gets
thing 'right' and is top of the class. However she feels under
pressure to do well in the Year 5 tests and is becoming
increasingly worried. She thinks she has to do certain things to
continue to do well and get 'top marks', such as avoiding the
cracks in the pavement. This habit starts to take over and Gemma
wonders why she is doing this. As the story progresses, Gemma is
helped to understand how it can be normal for anxiety and stress to
affect thoughts. The metaphor of having a bully in her mind, making
her do things she doesn't really want to do, is introduced. She
decides to stand up to her inner bully before it takes over. The
accompanying, 'Let's talk about when thoughts get stuck' highlights
how stress and pressure can affect us, including some of the
'catastrophising' and 'black and white' thinking errors that can be
linked with exam stress and pressure.
