AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA TERAPIA COGNITIVO-COMPORTAMENTAL NA ANSIEDADE DE DESEMPENHO PROFISSIONAL: Uma revisão narrativa

Abstract

Anxiety disorders have been widely discussed in the field of psychology and psychiatry. When anxiety is maladaptive, the damage is significant in the personal and professional spheres of the subjects' lives. In the professional sphere, it is understood that several phenomena become risk factors for the development or maintenance of anxiety disorders, also known as professional performance anxiety or performance anxiety. Feelings associated with uncertainty and fear are common, since there is great difficulty in entering, remaining, and returning to the job market, in addition, epidemiological crises, the type of work, perceptions associated with low autonomy, the Inauthentic leadership and the lack of strategic programs aimed at mental health contribute to worsening symptoms. With the aim of mapping the relationship between professional performance anxiety and treatment strategies, a literature review was carried out using databases Scielo, PubMed, CAPES journals, PEPSIC and PsycNet. Cognitive-Behavioral therapy has been shown to be efficient and effective in treating anxiety disorders and can help reduce performance anxiety. Various techniques can be used, which include recording thoughts, psychoeducation, mindfulness and even exposure via virtual reality.
