Identify and Describe the Characteristics of Automatic Thoughts (ATs) - ✔✔-Automatic/ involuntary -
Arise without obvious conscious processing
Situation-specific - Look for situations that give rise to the shift
Habitual - Accepted as normal, taken for granted, doesn't demand attention
Dysfunctional - distort reality, emotionally distressing, interfere with ability to reach goals
Negative - unless manic, narcissistic, or substance user
Subjective
Rapid/ Fleeting/ Brief - normally more aware of the emotion they feel rather than thoughts themselves
Can be evaluated according to their validity and their utility
Accepted as true despite reflection or evaluation
Importance and Origin of Automatic Thoughts - ✔✔-thoughts relevant to personal problems are
associated with specific emotions, depending on their content and meaning. They are often brief and
fleeting, in shorthand form, and may occur in verbal and/ or imaginal form. People usually accept their
automatic thoughts as true, without reflection or evaluation. Identifying, evaluating, and responding to
automatic thoughts (in a more adaptive way) usually produces a positive shift in affect
Techniques used to elicit Automatic Thoughts - ✔✔-Ask for situation specific information - pay attention
to distortions and repetitive focus on thoughts and feelings
Direct questioning - what was going through your mind
Notice and comment on emotional shifts and where they are felt in the body
Visualize the situation (role play)
Supply the opposite of what you think they feel
