Case study Genevieve

Genevieve is a 60 year old woman who has recently retired from a career in teaching. Working for many years in a secondary school environment, Genevieve was confident, motivated and dedicated to her work, but at the same time looking forward to retirement so she and her husband could travel and spend more time with their adult children who lived nearby.

However upon finishing work, Genevieve found herself experiencing severe anxiety, particularly when around other people, and began not wanting to leave the house or invite people into the house. She also experienced bouts of crying when attempting to complete tasks such as housework and using the sewing machine. Genevieve found her symptoms eased when she and her husband went on camping trips in national parks where they often did not see other people for days.
