monitor with gentle corrective feedback each of the session elements

Identify and Describe the Characteristics of Automatic Thoughts (ATs) - Correct
Answer-Automatic/ involuntary - Arise without obvious conscious processing
, Situation-specific - Look for situations that give rise to the shift
Habitual - Accepted as normal, taken for granted, doesn't demand attention
Dysfunctional - distort reality, emotionally distressing, interfere with ability to reach goals
Negative - unless manic, narcissistic, or substance user
Subjective
Rapid/ Fleeting/ Brief - normally more aware of the emotion they feel rather than
thoughts themselves
Condensed/ Abbreviated - Cognitive shorthand, maybe symbolic/ visual image
Repetitive - Look for patterns/ emerging themes
Can be evaluated according to their validity and their utility
Accepted as true despite reflection or evaluation
Importance and Origin of Automatic Thoughts - Correct Answer-thoughts relevant to
personal problems are associated with specific emotions, depending on their content
and meaning. They are often brief and fleeting, in shorthand form, and may occur in
verbal and/ or imaginal form. People usually accept their automatic thoughts as true,
without reflection or evaluation. Identifying, evaluating, and responding to automatic
thoughts (in a more adaptive way) usually produces a positive shift in affect
Techniques used to elicit Automatic Thoughts - Correct Answer-Ask for situation
specific information - pay attention to distortions and repetitive focus on thoughts and
feelings
Direct questioning - what was going through your mind
Notice and comment on emotional shifts and where they are felt in the body
Visualize the situation (role play)
Supply the opposite of what you think they feel
Ask for what the situation means to them
How to explain Automatic Thoughts to clients - Correct Answer-explain using their own
examples. in the context of discussing a specific problem with a patient, you will elicit
the automatic thoughts associated with the problem. Point out an AT given by a client.
Explain they just pop into our heads and are not deliberate. They're very quick and
we're more aware of the emotion they provide. We often react as if they are true even if
they are not. We may have to explain the cognitive model first and use questioning to
get to this point
Automatic Thoughts vs. Emotions - Correct Answer-Emotions are the product of
automatic thoughts
Feeling sad, anxious, or irritated is not a thought.
Emotions are logically connected to automatic thoughts. AT's are situation focused
whereas emotions follow it
Techniques used to identify Emotions - Correct Answer-People have issues identifying
different types of emotions, must teach them a bit
Give examples of times when certain emotions occur
Have client recall a situation and identify the emotion
