Heres is my Non-Symptom Thoughts exercise from Session 8 of The Advanced ME/CFS Recovery Programme with Ashok Gupta:
|
Underlying Beliefs |
Thoughts |
| I’m not good enough | I must be successful
I want constant validation My family don’t understand me I need attention in order to feel good I must not fail in front of other people |
| I’m not likeable or lovable | I fear what other people think of me
I’m afraid of being judged negatively I hate negative criticism I’m afraid of rejection I need people to like me I want attractive women to like me I’m afraid of the women I’m attracted to She won’t like me She despises me |
| I’m a bad person | People will reject me if I’m honest real with them
I’m a fraud I want to do stuff now; I don’t want to wait When will I “grow up”? |
| I’m not strong enough | I wish I was more resilient
I wish I wasn’t so scared |
| I only enjoy life when I’m being successful | I hate failing
Losing money is a sign of failure I want to be more successful with women I’m a failure I’ll never succeed as a writer I won’t find fulfilling work again |
