CBT for Appearance Anxiety

Session 4

Review of Homework and Reformulation

Hayley has recorded four examples of events that have triggered an angry response. However,

although the frequency has gone up, she has been able to evaluate her beliefs at the time and to manage her response more effectively by acknowledging that there might be another explanation. Bert

has been helpful by walking away rather than by trying to argue with her. He also bought her a new jumper which is a bright colour, which she real y likes, and she feels that he clearly got the message that she is worried about how she looks, even if he is not.

Set Agenda

Introduction to NATs and cognitive processing styles using triple column. Review noticeability and worry graph.

Plan alternative responses when she feels her anger being triggered.

Set Homework

Identification of cognitive processing styles.

Read further chapters in Davies.

Agree alternative management with Bert.

Summary and Feedback

Session 5

Bert has come to the session with Hayley.

Review of Homework

Triggers are identified and appraisal is modified. She and Bert have agreed to a time out period when one or other is annoyed. They have both read the self-help material and each feels that they understand Hayley’s responses better.

Set Agenda

Review Hayley’s perceptions of her appearance. Begin to consider a long-term maintenance plan.

Plan for last session next time.
