[form] REBT Inference Chaining (01) "Identifying Core Beliefs about Self, Others, Life or the World, God" Your Name please: [text,r_name,30] Email: [text,r_email,30] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ REBT Inference Chaining: THINK about the main target of your thinking In relation to the issue you are writing about, SELECT where your thoughts are mostly focused [list,Focus] [option,Self,Mostly focused on ME my sense of self] [option,others,Mostly focused on an OTHER person or persons] [option,life in general,Mostly focused on LIFE in general and how I view it] [option,God,Mostly focused on GOD's part in what's happening] [/list] NOTE THAT what you select above is the CONTEXT or THREAD you need to keep connected to as you ask your chain of questions. It does not help to suddenly switch from e.g. SELF to OTHER. If you discover in the process of doing your inference work that your original choice of focus is not the true undercurrent, then go right back to the start and choose that new focus to inference chain. NOW Start off by recording the HOT thought or Inference you want to identify the hidden belief with. [textarea,selftalk,4,70,Write in here...] NOW get in touch with the mood or emotion by selecting the strong emotion that's present and how intense it is when you hold the HOT thought or inference [list,Mood] [option,choose,Choose the main MOOD present when you think your HOT thought,selected] [option,Anger,Anger] [option,Annoyed,Annoyed] [option,Anxiety,Anxiety] [option,Concerned,Concerned] [option,Depression,Depression] [option,sadness,sadness] [option,Shame,Shame] [option,regret,regret] [option,Jealous,Jealous] [option,concern for relationship,Concerns for relationship] [option,Envy,Envy] [option,Healthy Envy,Healthy Envy as in positive competition] [option,Guilt,Guilt] [option,Remorse,Remorse] [option,Hurt,Hurt] [option,Disappointed,Disappointed] [/list] [list,Intensity] [option,0,Choose how Intense] [option,Not at all 0%,0% Not at all] [option,10%,10%] [option,20% A little,20% A little] [option,30%,30%] [option,40%,40%] [option,50% Medium,50% Medium] [option,60%,60%] [option,70% A lot,70% A lot] [option,80%,80%] [option,90% Quite a lot,90% Quite a lot] [option,100% Most Ive ever felt,100% Most I have ever felt] [/list] You will know when your chaining work is complete, by observing yourself going through the same pattern of answering. The object is to stop when you find yourself going through the same ideas again. This may take as few as 3 question links or as many as 9 or 10. Just remember if you get stuck make your comments in the last textbox you will be helped by the Online Counsellor asap. Okay, remember to keep the THREAD or TARGET in mind, and the MOOD or main emotion, then when you are using the questions that relate to the target, write down your answers in the textbox. If you chose self then use only questions about ME (if OTHER, LIFE or GOD use those as your thread) until you feel you can go no further.
