THOUGHT RECORD AND PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE

Part I Hopelessness and being disgusted usually contribute to low mood affecting the way one perceives their self, personal circumstances, other individuals, and even the worldly things surrounding that person. The act of being disgusted usually means you have not been contented with a decision you made or approved of something you are doing. Hopelessness leaves you feeling worn out with no hope of having a positive outcome. These two feelings can be difficult to cope with. They leave you feeling unwanted, unworthy, and disturbed. Keeping a log of my thoughts was difficult. According to Corey (2017, pp 303), selective abstraction could happen whereby other information is unheeded, and the significance of the total context is lost. One moment you are hopeless and the next you are spirited making it hard to choose the feelings to log onto the record. Feelings change depending on someone’s thoughts. The perception of those thoughts brings about emotion. When something happens, you will feel different emotions depending on how your mind perceives your situation and tries to solve the problem at hand.

Assumptions are not facts. They can be inaccurate causing the therapist to recommend treatment procedures that will not help the client
