Adapting Response Patterns
Using Albert Ellis's ABC model (Activating event – Belief – Consequence), participants analyse their own automatic, self-sabotaging reactions under pressure, identify the unhelpful beliefs driving them, and design and practise alternative responses aligned with who they mean to be.
- Examining one's own sabotage patterns borders therapy territory — keep cases work-related and self-chosen, and don't analyze anyone else's beliefs
