TACS: Precision CBT & the LSPM Model
Precision CBT & the LSPM Model: Addictive Thinking, aka "Stinking Thinking" (See Previous Lesson), keeps us stuck in addiction and causes relapses. Addictive thinking is the result of mental gymnastics we have to play in order to make using our addiction of choice seem OK, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is destroying our lives, relationships, career, family, etc. Addictive thinking is a tangled web of distorted mental filters that are part of the neural networks for addiction. I have created and integrated the Precision CBT model & the LSPM Model in order to provide a system for sorting out addictive thinking from our newly developing recovery thinking. We must be willing to challenge our thinking and get rigorously honest. The tools here will help us do that. Use the attached worksheets by saving a copy for each incident, then fill it out. Save a clean backup of the worksheet so you can collect as many incidents as you need. (Review Download Precision CBT & LSPM Card and CBT Worksheet Template)
