Fear of failure
Everyone gets scared or nervous just before an important or difficult performance, but....
- Do you panic when you have to do an internship, an exam or an assignment?
- Can't think of anything else but your studies or do you run away from it?
- You don't succeed at your internship despite good preparation: week in the knees, stuttering, doubts?
- Do you lose contact with yourself, your pupils, your patients or clients when there is 'control'?
- Does your throat tighten during the review, are you acting defensive, do you deny the problems, do you not know what to say, do you also get a low grade resulting in more anxiety at the next step?
- Are you unable to study for an exam because of your fear, are you unable to say anything at the exam purely due to your nerves?
Then a session Fear of Failure or our podcast (made by our psychologists and some students) might help you.

If you have any questions about this subject after viewing the session, please contact one of the student counselors on your campus.
