Thoughts

FACILITATOR

A first step is to become more conscious of self-statements (T1), of what we say to ourselves

that in turn influences feelings (O), actions (R) and their consequences (C). Changing one’s

Thought patterns about a Situation will also affect one’s own reactions to it (ORC). The box

at the middle of page 47 invites participants to think of one particular situation in which they felt

angry, annoyed, frustrated, furious, etc. The question then is, “What might I have been saying to myself

that would have led to this feeling?” The same is done for one situation in which the participant felt

nervous, stressed out and discouraged.

Logging/Tracking

At the bottom of page 47 is a simple diary form that can be

used between sessions. When experiencing a negative feeling,

participants write it down in the Feeling column, then make a note about

the Situation in which it occurs, and what he or she was Thinking. This

kind of real-time recording can make it easier to identify maladaptive

thoughts.
