Why is exam stress so difficult?

In this bonus episode of understanding emotions, we tackle exam stress. Many healthcare professionals have to deal with exams for training throughout their careers, bringing up unique challenges and emotions.

 Between them Dr Zaid al-Najjar, Ruth Deighton and Simon Lyne have decades of experience treating mental health professionals and have come together to pool their experience of treating healthcare workers into this podcast. They have built a framework for practitioners to understand and process complex emotions and worries in their job and personal lives.

This episode  of the Understanding your Emotions podcast covers exam stress.
