3. What have you seen? What challenges have you had while teaching?
4. IntroductionWhat was the author of Proverbs referring to? How could it relate to students?
5. BackgroundGrew out of behavioral theories in the 40s and 50s. Used to deal with persistent fearsAaron Beck noted common thought patterns in clients. Internal dialogues were noted. Clients weren’t always aware of the thoughts.He theorized that these patterns could be changed

7. Three Components-ThoughtsThoughts are ideas we haveConnect to physical feelings
8. Three Components-FeelingsPeople can have names for the feelingsSome feelings can seem like physical problems

10. Cognitive ReframingA way to identify and then change the way situations, experiences, events, ideas, and/or emotions are viewed.Learn to adopt a new wayCan be positive or negative
11. What are automatic thoughts?Developed as “shortcuts”
12. Dealing with it?Catch it-check it- change itTurn the thought into a statementEvidence for? Evidence against?Is there another explanation? Identify the worst and the bestWhat would I tell a friend to do?
13. Dealing with it?What effect does believing this thought have on me? What positive action can I take now?
14. Getting startedChanging thoughts, behavior, or feelings results in changes in the other components.Identify general issues firstSpecifically, what does it look like for the student?Are there certain thoughts, actions, and emotions that go along with the issues you identified? Are there 1 or 2 things that you want to change? Be specificAny specific things you want to be able to do?
15. TechniquesHow to help your students
16. TechniquesListen to your studentWhat was high school like?Have you ever felt challenged in school before? Relationships help students feel safe in learning.Ask about study habits
17. Negative filteringDoes the student discuss negatives?Ask about a positive experienceSuggest they work on finding positives to balance their view
18. All or NothingSpecifically, what are the two extremes?Are there possible outcomes between the extremes?What can the student do to make progress to a more positive outcome?
19. CatastrophizingTreating an unpleasant event as a disasterWhat will you do if the “worst” happens?What challenges have gone well previously for the student?
20. Mind readingFocused on knowing othersDoesn’t know themselves
21. Discounting the positivesSimilar to negative filtering Active rejection of the good things
22. Emotional reasoningIf you experience a negative emotion, you conclude that you are a bad person. It’s the condition of being strongly influenced by your emotions & assuming that they indicate objective truth
23. ConclusionWe learned about cognitive behavioral techniquesWe saw a video about the A.N.T buddies and automatic negative thoughtsWe explored ways to stop negative thoughtsAutomatic negative thoughts should be examined & challengedCatch it-check it- change it
24. ConclusionBalance negative thoughts with positive ideas All or nothing-identify whatever positive steps can be takenIntroduce balance with catastrophizingMind reading: Check with the person who is the object of the student’s concern- a partner, peer or faculty/professorDiscounting positives: practice accepting complimentsEmotional reasoning: validate reality with a trusted person
