What we Think affects how we act and Feel. ( Thoughts- Trigger Behaviour- Emotions)
What we do affects how we think and feel ( Behaviour)
What we feel affects what we think and do ( Emotions)
We have all come across those days where we wish we had thought first before acting on a simple impulse.
Those thoughts without thinking often lead us to where we wish we had not ended up.
A guy named Albert Ellis devised the ABC Model
Antecedents – Behaviour- Situations The model was devised as a way to target problem thoughts and behaviours.
ANTECEDENTS- BEHAVIOUR- CONSEQUENCE
Antecedents are the triggers that often occur before you engage in an unhelpful habit.
( Thought, feelings, situations)
Behaviour is what tends to happen if we follow through with the bad habit.
Consequences are what happens afterwards. This could be the emotional/ physical/ social effect that our behaviour has had on our current situation.
Check out the example below
Antecedent Behaviour Consequences
I feel Anxious I have a Drink Calm effect from the alcohol
I feel worried I lash out Have said things that you regret
I Feel Lonely I eat Feel Better, Then Fed up.
In order for Change to take place we have to be aware that change needs to occur.
GM-Fitness discuss the stages of Change below.
1 Pre contemplative- Unaware that there is a problem
2 Contemplative- Aware that there is a problem and see there’s probably a need to change
3 Preparing – Made a decision or commitment to change, Taking steps needed for change to occur.
4 Action- Making modifications to ones life, temptation and chances of relapse are strong.
5 Maintenance- After at least a year of successful change in behaviour, this stage hopefully has set you up for a new lifestyle.
6 Termination- the problem behaviour is no longer considered desirable to the client.
An example years have passed since the client last had a food binge/ last drink they no longer have cravings or urges to engage in this behaviour.
RELAPSE ( to undesired behaviour can occur at any time during stages 4-6. This can however be used as a learning opportunity to strengthen current coping strategies and mechanisms in place to facilitate the change process.
