280 SEXUAL IDENTITY CONFUSIONEXERCISE XXXVI. A JOURNAL OF SEXUAL THOUGHTS, FANTASIES, CONFLICTS This exercise helps you become more aware of your own sexual thoughts, feelings, fan-tasies, and desires. If we experience confl ict over our sexual feelings, we tend to repress those feelings and try to deny their existence. Try to overcome a natural tendency toward inhibiting the expression of these thoughts and feelings. Remember, at this point you are only writing about what you think and feel, you are not acting on these impulses without thought or consideration of values. To clarify your own sexuality, you fi rst need to identify the naturally occurring urges and desires within you. 1. Journal Task: Use the form to enter information on a daily basis regarding your sex-ual thoughts, any accompanying trigger situations that stimulate those thoughts or fantasies, the degree of arousal you experience associated with your sexual thoughts, and fi nally, describe any internal moral confl ict that may inhibit these thoughts or internal approval that may encourage these thoughts.

ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS FOR WHICH THIS EXERCISE MAY BE MOST USEFUL None SUGGESTIONS FOR PROCESSING THIS EXERCISE WITH THE CLIENT After clarifying his / her own homosexual identity, the client still has a major task in front of him / her. The client must think through the process of disclosure of his / her sexual orientation with signifi cant people in his / her life. This exercise is designed to help the client through that process of deciding where, when, and to whom the information will be disclosed, as well as possible questions and reactions the recipients may have. Process the completed assignment with the client, allowing him / her to revise his / her statement of disclosure, as well as giving him / her the opportunity to work through the feelings of anxiety and fear of rejection that most often accompany this step.

286 SEXUAL IDENTITY CONFUSIONEXERCISE XXXVI. B TO WHOM AND HOW TO REVEAL MY HOMOSEXUALITY If you are convinced of your homosexual orientation, you now must work through the feelings associated with that realization.

This exercise is designed to help you think through the process of disclosure or coming out. This is a diffi cult but important step in declaring who you are and seeking acceptance. 1. Who are all of the people you think should eventually be told of your homosexual orientation? 2. Who is the fi rst person you are going to tell about your homosexual orientation who is not already aware of it? 3. When do you believe you should tell your parents of your homosexual orientation?

Arthur E. Jr. Jongsma - Adult Psychotherapy Homework Planner 2nd Edition Practice Planners-Wiley 2006.pdf
SLEEP DISTURBANCE 291EXERCISE XXXVII. A SLEEP PATTERN RECORD Insomnia is a widespread problem, especially in our fast-paced culture. Some people de-lude themselves into thinking they need only 4 or 5 hours of sleep when most adults need about 7 hours of sleep on a regular basis. Other people think they do not sleep at all, but people who observe them discover that they do sleep for several hours during the night even though they may awaken periodically. There are techniques that can help people develop a better sleep routine. The most important techniques involve establishing a consistent sleep and wake-up time every day, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol. The following list will give you ideas about other sleep induction ideas that have been successful for many people. Review each of these and place a checkmark next to those that you are willing to implement on a consistent daily basis to establish a sleep induc-tion routine. 1. Sleep Induction Procedures: Engage in daily vigorous exercise during the afternoon for 20 to 30 minutes. Avoid spicy foods at night. Take a warm bath / shower 30 minutes prior to bed. Drink milk 30 minutes prior to bed (or take a Melatonin tablet). Avoid confl ict issues prior to bed. Read a book while in bed. Go to bed and get out of bed at the same time every day. Use deep muscle relaxation techniques to reduce tension. Imagine relaxing scenes while in bed rather than thinking about the next day. Avoid coffee, tea, colas, chocolate, and other foods or drinks containing caf-feine. Write down disturbing thoughts to get them off your mind. Focus on diaphragm breathing, counting each deep breath backward from 100. Avoid alcohol 4 to 5 hours prior to bed. Play soothing, quiet music or “white noise. ” 2. Keep a daily record of stressful events, sleep pattern, disturbing dreams, and sleep induction techniques used.

296 SOCIAL DISCOMFORTTherapist's Overview RESTORING SOCIALIZATION COMFORT GOALS OF THE EXERCISE 1. Identify distorted, negative automatic thoughts that lead to social anxiety. 2. Identify possible root causes for the pattern of negative thinking. 3. Develop and implement positive cognitions that build social confi dence. ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS FOR WHICH THIS EXERCISE MAY BE MOST USEFUL Low Self-Esteem Panic Sexual Abuse SUGGESTIONS FOR PROCESSING THIS EXERCISE WITH THE CLIENT This exercise is designed around cognitive therapy principles. The client must fi rst iden-tify negative automatic thoughts that feed his / her social anxiety. Then the client must work to discover some past experiences that contribute to these negative thinking pat-terns. Finally, the client is challenged to begin to think positively as a means of overcom-ing fear and social withdrawal. You may want to review some of the examples of distorted automatic thoughts that feed fear and add some of your own to the list in Item 1. You may also have to help the client develop and write positive, realistic statements that build confi dence and counteract fear. SECTION XXXVIII: SOCIAL DISCOMFORT
Arthur E. Jr. Jongsma - Adult Psychotherapy Homework Planner 2nd Edition Practice Planners-Wiley 2006.pdf
SOCIAL DISCOMFORT 297EXERCISE XXXVIII. A RESTORING SOCIALIZATION COMFORT Fear of being around other people is based in the automatic interpretative thoughts that rise when one considers the social situation. The distorted thoughts lead to negative emo-tions that lead to maladaptive behavior. In the case of social discomfort, the unrealistic thoughts lead to fear which leads to social withdrawal and isolation behavior. This exer-cise is designed to help you identify your distorted thoughts and think about their origins as well as discover ways to replace them with more realistic thoughts. 1. View the common distorted, automatic thoughts that are listed and that lead to fear and social withdrawal. Check those thoughts that you have experienced. I never know what to say. I'll make a fool of myself if I speak up. These people are much brighter than I am. This person does not like me. I'm going to have a panic attack. People are mean and critical. I can't speak to people unless I have a few drinks fi rst. Every time I'm in a group situation, people ignore me. I can tell by the way she is looking at me that she thinks I'm stupid. I've never been good with words. 2. What other negative thoughts go through your mind when you consider a social en-counter? 3. Why do you think so negatively about interacting with others? What experiences have taught you to lack confi dence?

How could you apply the coping skill you used in the situation described in item 7 to new social encounters? 9. Write three positive statements that are the opposite of the distorted, automatic thoughts that commonly lead to your fear of social interaction. Use these thoughts to build confi dence and counteract the negative thoughts that build fear. A. B. C.

SOMATIZATION 299Therapist's Overview CONTROLLING THE FOCUS ON PHYSICAL PROBLEMS GOALS OF THE EXERCISE 1. Reduce focus on somatic complaints and increase attention to positive traits and activities. 2. Reduce the amount of time given to somatic complaints. 3. Identify emotional stresses that underlie the focus on physical complaints. ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS FOR WHICH THIS EXERCISE MAY BE MOST USEFUL  Chronic Pain Medical Issues SUGGESTIONS FOR PROCESSING THIS EXERCISE WITH THE CLIENT The client with somatization issues is choosing to make his / her bodily concerns the pri-mary or only focus of his / her attention. This can be very disconcerting to signifi cant others around him / her and can also seriously reduce the client's ability to function effec-tively. This exercise focuses the client on his / her assets and enjoyable activities. It also limits the amount of time given to somatic complaints by structuring the “worry time” to 30 minutes per day. Reinforce the importance of this structured time to the client and encourage him / her to use the rest of the day to focus on other issues. The client may also need help in examining his / her emotional issues that may lie beneath the somatic complaints because these clients will attempt to strongly avoid focusing on underlying issues. Reinforce all of the client's time and attention given to productive activities that are unrelated to his / her somatic complaints. SECTION XXXIX: SOMATIZATION
Arthur E. Jr. Jongsma - Adult Psychotherapy Homework Planner 2nd Edition Practice Planners-Wiley 2006.pdf
300 SOMATIZATIONEXERCISE XXXIX. A CONTROLLING THE FOCUS ON PHYSICAL PROBLEMS It is important to establish a proper balance to your perspective on life. Although you have concerns about your physical well-being, there is much more to you and your life than those concerns. Your identity as a person is much greater than someone who is only focused on health and bodily worries. You must control the amount of time and energy given to your anxieties about somatic problems and refocus your life on constructive, productive, and enjoyable activities. This exercise attempts to help you regain your focus and broaden your perspective. 1. List fi ve of your favorite interests—areas of life and activities that you enjoy. A. B. C. D. E. 2. List fi ve abilities, talents, or skills that you have and enjoy. A. B. C. D. E. 3. Considering your interests and abilities, list fi ve activities you could engage in within the next few weeks that would take your mind off your physical health and get you focused on more productive, constructive, stimulating, and enjoyable pursuits.

SOMATIZATION 3014. To make sure your focus on physical problems is decreased while your constructive activity is increased, schedule a specifi c 30 minutes each day that you will think about, talk about, and write down your physical problems. Even if you have written down your complaint one or more times, keep recording it if it is still on your mind. Do not talk or think about your physical problems at any occasion other than the scheduled time.

It is strongly recommended that this assignment be completed within the therapy session. The therapist should be ready to refer the client for inpatient hospitalization if this step is believed necessary. If the client's suicide risk is not assessed to be high enough to warrant hospitalization, the therapist is encouraged to establish a suicide prevention contract, arrange for 24 hour supervision by a signifi cant other, and / or provide him / her with phone numbers for agencies or individuals (e. g., crisis hot line) in the event that he / she may become suicidal in the future.

VOCATIONAL STRESS 319EXERCISE XLIII. A A VOCATIONAL ACTION PLAN It is common for a person to feel overwhelmed by vocational stress and to then develop a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. You may feel you are not in control of your situation and that others are pulling all of the strings. But you must recapture a sense of controlling those things that you can and should control. You must develop a plan of action to respond proactively to your circumstance rather than to be immobilized by the events around you. Other people may have made decisions and implemented actions that affect you directly, but you do not have to be passive in response. You have choices before you in terms of how to respond assertively and constructively to reduce confl ict and / or open new avenues for exploration. 1. Resource People: List three people who you can rely on to help you through this stressful time by providing support and constructive suggestions for action. A. B. C. 2. Identify Self-Defeating Messages: First, list the negative, pessimistic, self- defeating, and distorted thoughts that cause you to feel hopeless, anxious, and help-less about your vocational situation (e. g., “Nothing I can do will help the situation,” “Everything I have tried has failed,” “I am only going to be rejected again”).

320 VOCATIONAL STRESS3. Replace Self-Defeating Messages: Now challenge these negative thoughts that fi ll your mind and cause you to be angry, depressed, worried, or immobilized. Replace each thought with a more realistic, energizing thought that can move you into con-structive action to improve your circumstance (e. g., “I have choices regarding what I can do to try to improve the situation,” “I need to try again at implementing change,” “There are people that do believe in me so I can take risks to reach out”). A. B. C. D. E. 4. Proactive Steps: Write fi ve actions you will take to improve your situation and reduce vocational stress. A. B. C. D. E. EXERCISE XLIII. A
