Hello,
Visit the Self-Acceptance Learn-in in the Learn-in Forums. See the Self-Downing Catcher. Also look up labeling in the list of thought distortions in Tips On Distorted Thinking. Refuse to call yourself names. Julian Kammerz |

Hi,
Negative labeling is the largest contributer to self-downing and self-criticism. Eric LABELING: Here we overgeneralize with the "verb to be" about ourselves, others, things, events, & the world. Example: "I'm no good." "I'm worthless." "I'm a failure." "They are slobs." "New York is a totally sick place." "Everything is no good." By overgeneralizing with "labeling" we, they, or it becomes one behavior, trait or quality. Example: I failed a geometry test--I'm a failure. Or they behaved badly--they are bad. Sometimes we might label the world, things, and events with an overgeneralized tag. Example: Philadelphia is a snake pit. Or my job is the pits. Obviously Philadelphia and jobs contain far more than negative qualities. If we label, it is better to choose labels that carry the notion that we and everything in this world are multi-faceted and contain many, many positive, neutral, and negative qualities. Recommended labels for the self: "I'm a multi-faceted person." "I'm a person with many positive, neutral, and some negative qualities." "I'm human with a wide range of qualities." These labels apply to others as well. Recommended labels for things, events, and the world: "It is multi-faceted." "It has many positive, neutral, and negative qualities." If you are labeling, ask yourself the following questions: *Do you have millions of traits & behaviors? Are some negative, positive, or even neutral? *How can you just be one or a few traits & behaviors? *Can you choose not to rate yourself by a gross overgeneralization? *Is viewing yourself as just one or a few traits an overgeneralization? *List some of your many positive & neutral traits & behaviors. *Is it arbitrary to assign points to a trait or a behavior? How many points do you get added or subtracted for fallen arches? |
