MaybeKatie to the Rescue
| Thu, 05-20-2004 - 6:00pm |
part of my therapy this week--and beyond--is recording my negative thoughts, identifying which cognitive distortion i am doing (like all of nothing thinking, jumping to conclusions, etc) and then writing a rational response to whatever negative thought i was having.
I had no idea i had SOOO many negative thougths swirling around in my head on any given day. So, i decided to QUIT PROCRASTINATING and go out and do some errands. While doing that, these negative thoughts continued: mainly--I have hurt xMM's feelings regarding the conversation i had with him the other night, etc. I dwelled on this for a while, felt down, moppy and then suddenly i hear MAYBEKATIE's voice in my head: 'HOLD ON TO THAT STRONG FEELING YOU HAD AFTER CONFRONTING HIM."
And i did have a strong feeling after confronting him. Everything i said was RIGHT ON! It's not my issue if he feels bad about it now. As soon as i heard MaybeKatie's voice in my head, i suddenly picked myself and felt strong and proud again.
Clarice
