Repeat the second step but this time work on terms associated
with positive self-esteem.
|
Examples are:
- I want to go to my mother's now.
- I am usually on time etc.,
|
| 5. |
Solicit from the group how they feel about these terms. The
reaction may have changed to one of optimism coupled with a sense of having
control over the situation.
|
| 6. |
Have the participants complete the following exercise sheet.
The purpose is to allow the participants to gain a greater awareness of who
they are and how they react in situations where they feel really good or bad
about themselves. By increasing the awareness within participants of how they
react under specific situations, it allows them to facilitate change in their
thoughts and actions. Steps, no matter how small are significant milestones on
the road to change. |
