Stressed Thinking There’s not enough time www.psychlotron.org.uk It’s all too much Everything’s against me! I’m not good enough. I can’t cope!
It is possible to change all of these, as they are perceptions, not reality Perception of situation/stimulus as a threat or problem Belief that coping resources are not adequate to deal Use of coping strategies that don’t help the situation Stressed Thinking Increased feelings of control, and more effective coping behaviour.
