Jenny - Module 2

I don’t know, this module said that there aren’t really good or bad emotions, but I think I’d be OK not feeling anxiety…I’ve had enough experience with that for a lifetime! It was kinda hard identifying what I was thinking when I was thinking it, but I think I captured some of the thoughts I have most frequently. I hope I’m doing this right. I’m sure there are other things I do in the moment, but these were the ones I was aware of.

Trigger – Seeing a new older client for assessment
Emotion – Anxious
Physical Sensation – Sweaty, heart racing, kinda shaky
Thoughts – He’s going to think, “This kid doesn’t know anything” or “She won’t be able to help me.” I hope I don’t forget anything, why does this always happen to me?
Behaviours – Make limited eye contact, ask probably too many questions
Consequences – Felt lousy afterwards and replayed the situation, focusing on how I thought he was judging me

Trigger – My supervisor emailing me, asking if I were free to chat
Emotion – Super nervous
Physical Sensations – Heart racing, shaky, can’t focus, fidgety
Thoughts – What did I do wrong, a patient complained and I’m going to be fired, she’s going to yell at me for messing up my paperwork or doing something wrong
Behaviour – Mull over everything that happened since I’ve been here until the meeting, and get nothing done
Consequences - Felt crummy and was unproductive, meant I had to stay late to finish up
