I haven't said this in years, but please would you help with my (CBT) homework?

felineaut

I am participating in CBT to help me learn new ways to manage myself in challenging situations. My therapist/practitioner/tutor suggested we each seek answers to questions about a hypothetical scenario. I hope it's ok to post this here, I wondered if there's anyone with a few minutes to spare who wouldn't mind sharing their thoughts.

Many thanks for reading and many more if you are able to answer - completely understand that everyone's busy. I am happy to update when we've compared answers to see how mental health professionals differ from any answers I receive if anyone has any interest.

The Situation:

(From the perspective of a car driver, imagined or real)

If you were stopped in a parking space to drop someone off and someone pulled up alongside and became confrontational about you being there, got out of their car and started shouting and taking your registration number:

1) How would you feel? 

2) What would you do?

3) Is it unreasonable to feel helpless and upset?

4) How would you 'come down' from that?

  • Hi Classic Codger and Longman,

    We'd like to remind you that swear words are not allowed in this Community and we also make it quite clear that surveys are not appropriate. 

    We'd also like to point out the tone of your posts is becoming quite judgemental, critical and negative at points. We'd like you to keep the tone positive and constructive and stear away from personal attacks.

    Volunteer moderators (some of which are on the spectrum themselves) give up their time to maintain this community and without this having a community would not be possible. 

    I ask you to be aware of this when commenting in future. This is forum for people to get support and advice about autism and it should remain a positive space.

    Take care,
