Mark - Module 6

The homework was hard on some days. I didn’t particularly like writing out my thoughts because they were so depressing, it almost made me more depressed to read them there in black and white. Finding evidence that countered my thoughts was sometimes tough, as well. Sometimes I really had to think about what others have said to me in the past or what things I might say to someone in the same situation. Sometimes, I had to come back to a thought record. Overtime, it’s gotten a little easier to acknowledge where I am. At least I’m working on getting better.

Identifying how I might avoid feeling sad and depressed and what safety behaviours I use tool some time to sort through, but here’s what I came up with.

 

 

Subtle avoidance	Cognitive Avoidance	Safety Behaviours
	Thinking about all the what if’s…can’t really change it now.
	Distraction – I’ve been watching lots of TV, though I can’t tell you what I’ve watched.
