Psychotherapist Jonathan Berent is a specialist in career performance anxiety.
Workplace pressure is higher than ever, but for many professionals, the real challenge isn’t workload.
GREAT NECK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pre-presentation adrenaline and butterflies or job interview jitters are common. But for millions of professionals, workplace anxiety goes way beyond temporary nervousness. Persistent fear of being judged, appearing anxious or making mistakes can cripple performance, conceal talent and stall career advancement for the long haul.
Psychotherapist Jonathan Berent, a longtime specialist in social anxiety disorders, explores this challenge in Work Makes Me Nervous: Overcome Anxiety and Build the Confidence to Succeed. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Berent outlines a 21-day developmental program designed to help professionals manage anxiety and approach high-pressure situations with greater control and confidence.
“Social anxiety remains a complex challenge for mental health professions because many sufferers never seek help,” Berent said. “Embarrassment and avoidance often prevent people from addressing the problem, even when it significantly affects their professional lives.”
Filled with real-life case studies — from entry-level workers to seasoned executives and famous sports and media figures — Work Makes Me Nervous presents Berent’s 21-day program that integrates anxiety-control techniques, practical exercises and guided self-therapy.
Focusing on proven tools rather than gimmicky quick fixes, this book lays out a straightforward self-help system that shows readers how to:
• Diagnose their particular symptoms and create a map for change
• Understand and balance their mind states
• Achieve and maintain a high-performance mind
• Master the adrenaline control technique
• Use the power of adrenaline to their advantage
• Keep their brain healthy and build on their success
“Work Makes Me Nervous lays out a proven therapeutic method for dismantling the wall between you and your ability to excel at work,” Berent added. “It will enable you to finally say, ‘I can handle whatever situations come my way.’"
