Document Summary
The defense of our selves and our identities through talk. Trouble: when we or somebody else has made a mistake, or we feel ignored, criticized or put down. The way that we talk to ourselves becomes critical when we have to deal with trouble . It is easier to talk to ourselves when we are feeling good, but it gets more difficult when we are facing challenges. The way we talk to ourselves can mean the difference between healing and hurting ourselves, and those around us. Our affect appraisers recognize threats in different situations and engage our emotions of fear and/or anger which obstructs our perception and thinking process. Selective perception: what we choose to see in a situation and what we don"t see in a situation. We look at the world from inside ourselves, and leave out anything that contradicts what we want to say or hear.
