Duration 12mins 13secs
TAKE THE QUIZ:
In this session, Dr Janina Fisher looks at the impact of trauma and how thoughts can affect our feelings and our bodies. She investigates the origins of self-defeating stories, the consequences of self-blame and our attention to our own thoughts.
Dr Fisher considers how self-talk like “something bad is going to happen” or, “I am unable to defend myself or I don’t deserve to live” can be dangerous. Following a traumatic experience, we often tell ourselves self-defeating, negative stories. Dr Fisher looks at exercises and skills for understanding these self-defeating stories and changing negative thoughts.
