Marcus is a newly promoted junior project manager at an engineering firm. He is highly anxious about leading his first major client pitch. He lies awake at night catastrophising that the client will reject the proposal and that his senior director will fire him. He feels intense physical anxiety during team stand-up meetings and avoids contacting his director for feedback because he is convinced he will be told his design calculations are completely incompetent.
Describe stress inoculation therapy (SIT) as a method of managing stress, and explain how Marcus's stress could be managed using this therapy.
