Emotions: Minor stress about meetings. After one meeting, a colleague made a comment about a supervisor being annoyed with me, that she would pick on me now. That supervisor has picked on this colleague and others. I got anxious about it, but then I used a strategy I learned from my shrink. ABCD. D is disputing the B beliefs--I disputed the belief that the supervisor would pick on me, etc. I thought of some good disputes. It really helped! I cannot wait to tell my shrink.
