Activating event - perceived interpretation of event (not necessarily the event)

Belief - rational and irrational (irr=we start "awfulizing" the world). the healthier one is, more accurate thoughts are. unhealthy thoughts being with "i should" or "i must"

Consequence - our emotions & actions or reactions to them

Low frustration tolerance (not fair she makes more money than me when we both began working at same place at same time)

• Methods of approach:
• disputing - 2 kinds
• Empirical - show me how it's end of world if dinner is not on table at 6
• Functional - what is being a loser doing for you? is this really where you want to go? Last time you were like this, you went to jail. do you want to go this time?

then

I see ___________ in you. that doesn't qualify you as a loser.

• Unconditional self - self acceptance
• Other acceptance - accept life outside of you/other variables

Combines cognitive theory and behavior theories.

"the way that i think impacts the way that i feel and act." use reinforcement and punishment to change behavior. good in trauma, criminal justice, depression, anxiety, addiction

replaces maladaptive behavior with desired behavior, asks lots of ?s, lots of homework done, educational process, "here and now" focus, is brief and goal oriented.

methods used: relaxation training, mental & emotive imagery, cognitive modeling, covert model (role playing), thought stopper (scream stop!), cognitive restructuring (baby steps replacing maladaptive thought with positive thought), reframing (change how problems are viewed), stress inoculation (set up anxiety inducing moment and clients uses skills to cope with situation), meditation, biofeedback (electrodes), neurolinguistic programming (use senses to sense stress)

• James Prochaska
• Carlo Diclemente

• 5 experiential between first 3 stages
• Precontemplation - lots of pros for using (>6 months here)
• Contemplation - equal pros and cons for using (<6 months here)
• Preparation - cons outweigh pros (1 month)
• Self-efficacy or temptation construct seen in last 2 stages
• Action - make behavior changes, say "no" (at least 6 months here)
• Maintenance - staying in recovery

• two tools:
• measurement tools to find where on e is on this cycle - decisional balance construct - weight pros and cons of behavior (they make a list)
• Self-efficacy or temptation construct - how often & strong are urges and cravings? urges are increased through: negative affect, emotional distress, positive social situations, craving

5 experiential steps - start introducing cons through education. things they have to start thinking

• 1 - consciousness raising
• 2 - dramatic relief - people change when they're tired of the emotional place they're in (role playing, personal testimonies)
• 3 - environmental re-evaluation - start realizing how their behavior impacts their environment (don't leave out bong for 6 yr old to play with)
• 4 - social liberation - show them social opportunities that do not use drugs & can provide support
• 5 - self re-evaluation - get from "drinking is cool" to "I don't want to be in trouble with the law and drinking keeps me there" (find health role models)

Things they have to start doing

• 1 - stimulus control - change their environment and add prompts for healthier alternative actions to using
• 2 - helping relationships - find healthy relationships
• 3 - counter conditioning - learn to say no to peers, now i'll meditate instead of use, now i'll take 10 deep breaths instead of use.
• 4 - reinforcement management - find/create rewards in their environment that merit attention to motivate them towards being clean (teach positive self-statements)
• 5 - self liberation - belief that i can and am changing. look at how far i came. client gives their story as testimonial to others.
• choices empower people. the more choices they have, the better.

ASUDC can help revise treatment plan. sudc cannot.
