Event
ACTIVITY
You’re stuck in traffic on your way to an important appointment. Discuss one thought that would lead you to feel each of the following emotions:
Anxiety | Low mood | Anger Guilt | Relaxed
We can interpret and respond to the same situation in many
different ways…
Notice Motivate Question Practise
Explore how negative thought / behaviour
cycles might be impacting
Explore the benefits of thinking or behaving differently
Introduce questions to help break the cycle
(Hold that thought..)
? What is the evidence
?
? Is there an alternative explanation
?
? How useful
is this thought
?
? What can I practically
do now?
? What would
I say to a friend?
