Session 7: Extinguishing Thoughts

 Extinguisher

 

  

   The last session focused on Inflammatory Thoughts--the kinds of thoughts that increase anger.  It is important to recognize these as they arise, but the next step involves shifting to a cooler perspective. 

  This session focuses on Extinguishing Thoughts, and provides three separate exercises to help develop these different ways of looking at events that might otherwise stimulate anger. 

Resources:

            Anger Record or  Anger Record with Feelings List
  Building a Control Panel, a reading in pdf form
Extinguishing Thoughts, a sheet listing numerous examples of cooling thoughts
Endurance of Suffering, which was on the reading list previously, in session 3.  It's here again to review.
