Keiser University Understanding of How to Recognize Self-Talk
Part 1
In chapter 14 of your textbook, read about identifying self-talk on pages 284-285. Now that you have an understanding of how to recognize self-talk, lets put this into practice.
For three days this week, using a journal, record your own self-talk that you perceive as negative, dysfunctional, or problematic. When recording your self-talk, be sure to include the circumstances in which these thoughts occurred and how they affected your feelings and behavior.
At the end of the three days, review your journal and reflect on this experience. Discuss the situations which led to negative self-talk. Did you find that your emotions or behavior changed after the self-talk began?
Part 2
Read pages 286-296 and then conduct your own research using at least 1 source from the KU online library on methods to control self-talk and adjust distorted thinking. Then discuss 3 techniques that you believe would work for you to minimize or alter your tendencies to engage in negative self-talk and/or distorted thinking. Explain your choices of techniques and why you believe they would be effective.
