helping clients put a stop to self-sabotaging behaviors

:: 0 Comments :: Article Rating :: quick tips, professionals 		 

No matter what area in life an individual struggles with, everyone encounters those self-critical thoughts that increase anxiety and interfere with the ability to achieve. You can help clients conquer this self-saboteur by asking them to vocalize negative thoughts that they have toward themselves.


This exercise will help clients identify their inner voice as an enemy they’ve come to internalize that holds them back and tries to keep them from being who they really are.


Quick Tips for Therapists.


Lisa Firestone, PhD is the co-author of Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice: A Revolutionary Program to Counter Negative Thoughts and Live Free from Imagined Limitations .
