The ABCDE model in CBT is a way to understand the role our thoughts play in our feelings and behaviors, and how to find balanced and helpful thoughts.

ABCDE Reaction
Seems like a quick easy way to pinpoint and acknowledge places where stress and negative emotions stem from and how to efficiently address them from a place of mindful neutrality

To identify and realize how to change even the simplest of core believes is to become more self aware.

I didn’t realize this was normal which was a huge relief I’m very excited about learning about the letter D and how to change my consequences

Good to learn. My triggers can be strong and before I know it. Even as soon as I wake up which can make the mornings hard

Startling clear ABCDE tool

Question
Wouldn’t the dispute come before the consequences? If an action causes a thought and then I disputed it would change the consequence yes?

Without doubt, it is my thoughts that have propelled
me into a state of anxiety, and depression. Medication has given me the motivation, to fix myself. Only I can do that. Not medication. I am getting there, and I have already come off one of my meds. Psychiatric treatment, did not help at all. But I suppose it’s all about finding a specialist who actually cares!!!
