CASE STUDY

Bryce is a 15-year-old sophomore in high school. He has always enjoyed doing outdoor activities with his family. Last summer, Bryce was camping with his uncle when they came across a copperhead snake. The snake struck at Bryce’s uncle, but fortunately only bit into his jeans and not his skin.

Although Bryce’s uncle was fine, Bryce is now very afraid of having another encounter with a snake. His fear has led him to stop doing outdoor activities. He even avoids his backyard because he is worried about seeing a snake. Bryce also feels anxious if he sees a photo of a snake.

• What do you think are the primary factors that led Bryce to develop these symptoms?

• What are some strategies Bryce could use to manage his anxiety about snakes?
