If you have a client with chronic worry, you've likely tried cognitive therapy. But cognitive therapy is time-consuming and complex. For a simple, quick way to nip worry in the bud, Jennifer Abel, Ph.D., suggests B3s.

BETTER, BUT BELIEVABLE THOUGHTS:

This is one of my favorite ways to help my clients to reframe negative thoughts into motivating ones. When you feel down, anxious or worried thinking positive will help, but only if you believe the thought.

For example: If you are worried about a test, you may not believe the thought "I will ace it." However, what is true is that the test will end in 1 hour and you can do a pleasurable activity after.

Here is a short video also providing an example:

As a therapist, 9 out of 10 folks I talk to know about self care but do NOT practice it. WHY??? A 5 letter word is the most common answer I get.... can you guess..?

Why of course, it is GUILT. They often feel they are taking time away from family, friends, work, etc....

The truth is we are MORE effective, efficient, loving and overall better after self care. We get more done and provide our family with more quality time. QUALITY is usually better than QUANTITY.

So from now own, feel guilty about lack of self care.

I work full time as a private practice mental health therapist. I created my practice as a way to help individuals that may struggle with mental illness and various other life issues. I am particularly interested in neurodiversity, as my own daughter is AUsome and I understand the struggle.
