As a sophomore in a competitive liberal arts college, Peter decided to seek therapy for his test anxiety. He described a process of proactively weaving complex lies to avoid taking in-class exams, and typically negotiated either a take-home test or out-of-class make-up exam. He was able to describe the onset of these avoidance behaviors and how they had become increasingly ritualized in an effort to avoid the considerable anxiety tests provoked. While immediately relieved whenever he successfully negotiated a less anxiety provoking alternative, he became increasingly depressed by the amount of effort and time this took, and the toll it was taking on his relationships with classmates and professors who began to confront him on these avoidance behaviors.
