Topic 7: Core Beliefs {by 10/29}
[Core Beliefs] – Watch MDD-15: Core Beliefs – Identifying – Downward-Arrow Technique. (1) How was the downward-arrow technique effective in leading to the client’s core belief based on his negative automatic thought and considering his background? (2) Based on the client’s core belief and what you know about his negative automatic thoughts, what modification technique(s) would be the most appropriate?
[Core Beliefs] – Complete the Downward-Arrow Technique on yourself (if you want, you can start with your negative automatic thought from your NATR). Answer the following (you can be brief): (1) Even though you probably already knew what core belief you were working towards (admittedly, this can be an awkward technique to do on yourself), did you have any emotional or cognitive reaction afterwards? (2) Was there any particular question or approach that you found more helpful (or less helpful) than others?
Reminder: Complete a Negative Automatic Thought Record for homework.
