| I use the following prompt (just an example; in a real scenario I would describe the situation in greater detail). Example of prompt: Three Minute Therapy is based on the teachings of Albert Ellis who developed Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It is a short-term, low-cost process that is most effective if you are looking for a scientific, in-the-present, active treatment for coping with life’s difficulties. Use the A-B-C-D-E-F flowchart described in Three Minute Therapy Exercise (TME) to address the following concern: I made a mistake at work and now people are making fun of me. Example of response: A: Activating Event: I made a mistake at work. B: Beliefs about the event: I am embarrassed and embarrassed that I am being made fun of. C: Consequences: I feel anxious, ashamed, and inadequate. D: Dispute: My mistake does not define me. Mistakes are normal and part of life. Everyone makes mistakes, and I can learn from this and move on. E: Effective New Belief: I am capable and this mistake does not define me. F: New Consequences: I am able to take responsibility and learn from this experience, and not feel embarrassed or ashamed. |
