Reference no: EM133351391

You have a client, Doug, who is a recreational athlete, who recently suffered a musculoskeletal injury. While Doug is very motivated to get back to his physical activity, he is still experiencing pain and has a lot of fear about re-injury, which has led to his avoidance of rehabilitation. Doug logically understands that he needs to do his rehab exercises in order to get better and to be able to get back to his physical activity, but the fear of re-injury is overriding his motivation. Doug has always had an "all or nothing" mindset, which has helped him stay motivated and perform well in sports, but this could be a detriment to his thought process in recovery. As you work with Doug as an AT, you see him getting discouraged, in his mind he isn't healing quick enough and he feels like he is failing at recovery and should be better by now, which is killing his motivation because he has always been successful in whatever he has done and now he has set this same expectation on his healing journey. Any time Doug feels a little bit of pain, he "freaks out" and immediately stops the exercise and will not continue any form of exercise as he thinks it is a sign of re-injury.

a. Identify the distorted thinking traps that Doug is exhibiting, explain each thinking trap. (hint: there are 4)

b. Explain both a CBT and ACT approach to self-talk.

c. Choose one of the thinking traps to address and implement either a CBT, ACT, or integrated approach to help with that thinking trap. Explain a step-by-step process as to how you would implement your technique.
