There is a particular model in CBT that I thought it would be helpful to focus on tonight called the ABC model.
The ABC model proposes that how we feel and act is not directly caused by the situation we are in – instead, our emotional and behavioural reactions are influenced by the automatic thoughts we have in response to situations. Unhelpful thinking styles can make us feel worse, and interfere with us doing things that we need and want to do in our lives. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Help us push aside the stigma and discrimination surrounding complex mental health and change the way people talk about, and care for, mental illness.
