Exercises to restructure memories


-Dramatización: They evoke imagination traumatic situations giving rise to maladaptive beliefs, first as they occurred (to increase understanding) and then displayed as the face in business and assertively.


1) I was 9 years old and my step-grandfather tried to Abuzar me, I ran and pedi help my grandmother.

      was 2 years old and a teenager forced me to touch him improperly

      was 5 years old when I saw my mother was unfaithful

      all my childhood my mother told me I was too thin, that was useless


2) 9 years, I ask for help and talk to my parents about what happened, I ask psychological help

     Two years I ask for help, I run the place, I talk to my parents

     5 years ignore it situation, I do not look out the door, game

     I do not know what my mother says, I feel comfortable with my body, I say I'm not interested the opinion of others



Maladaptive beliefs:


9 and 2 years: all men try to take advantage of my men seeking sex only and can not be controlled, you can not trust men only act to satisfy their sex drive.


5 years: you can not trust people


I do not like my body, I am too thin, it could be better.


Historical -Test of maladaptive belief

-Contruir And validate positive beliefs to replace old limiting beliefs


I had respect for people, whether friends or couples who have not sought to take advantage of me or hurt me, or look for sex

My last couple respected my time and try to make me feel comfortable, I seek a position to force or push sex


I was able to trust some friends who have not betrayed me, I can trust my bishop, I can avoid the impulse to check the imaginary partner infidelity, ignoring the anxiety and distress


I'm not so thin, I gained weight, I feel fairly comfortable with my appearance, men like to my physical, I found beautiful and sexy.


-Reencuadrar Anxiety (previously carried avoidance) as an indicator of a dysfunctional attitude, which requires attention and help making a record .The goal is not to avoid anxiety but learning to detect irrational-defeating attitudes and replace them with positive rational attitudes


Anxiety ....> cause fight or argument to lower anxiety, and avoidance behavior, not control or manage well the maladaptive beliefs.

Remember that not all men are equal, we are individual beings, my story is part of the past, now have new tools and am in control of my actions and thoughts, I should not worry about something that may not happen, be confident.
