Often, these thoughts are self-critical, provoking apprehension and anxiety.
Aaron Beck
Cognitive Behavior Therapy, developed by University of Pennsylvania’s Aaron Beck, provides a systematic way to restructure sometimes irrational “self-talk“, as do Albert Ellis‘s Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Stanford University’s David Burns‘ synthesis of these approaches.
David Burns

Charles Manz
1. Observe and record thoughts,
2. Analyze thoughts,
3. Develop new thoughts,
4. Substitute new thoughts,
5. Monitor and Maintain new, productive thoughts.
-*What practices do you use to develop and apply productive thought patterns under pressure?
