Evidence Against Your Client’s Negative Thinking

SESSION 3 OF 3

Duration 11mins 44secs

In this demonstration session, Dr. Nina Josefowitz continues working with “Julia,” a client struggling with depression and self-defeating thoughts about her intelligence. Building on previous sessions, this session focuses on helping clients identify emotionally compelling evidence against their negative thoughts. Dr. Josefowitz demonstrates how to gently challenge thoughts like “I’m too stupid to understand this” by asking structured, compassionate questions that highlight overlooked successes, alternative explanations, and supportive perspectives. Using a simple worksheet and reflective prompts, she guides Julia to discover that her difficulties in a challenging economics class don’t define her intelligence, revealing a more balanced and self-compassionate narrative. Dr Josefowitz emphasises the therapist’s role in expanding, grounding, and emotionally anchoring alternative views, creating powerful shifts in self-perception.
