Stress Center Peer Support

This session is the one I keep getting stuck on! I seem to be very inept at catching my negative thoughts! There are so many of them! Like, I think they are nearly constant. When I try to write them down, I would literally spend all day just writing one thought after another. Anyone else out there have this same problem? Am I doing something wrong here? I know this is a "hinge" session, and I really, really want to get it right, because it all makes so much sense...change our thoughts, change our feelings. I need hope!!

I know your post was a while ago. I hope you made the progress you were after. I'm using an illustration for myself. The negative thoughts are on auto pilot. We need to turn off the auto pilot. How? With positive self talk.

I can understand that...Lucinda mentions that its the cornerstome of the program, but with enough effort I believe its possible to do

I agree..it wasn't till I took this section seriously that I realized how I talk to myself - I'm trying now to self-talk in a way that helps, rather than hinders.
