Hey everyone! A trainee trying to hone my CBT skills…I’m trying to use Theory A/B at the level of rules and assumptions rather than the typical anxiety/OCD presentations most literature describes it for, and struggling with a few things.

As an example (not based on anything real, just hypothetical)…let’s say someone might have a rule/assumption “If I’m not successful, I don’t deserve to be loved.” Theory A might be this rule. How might you construct theory B - especially after evaluating it (i.e. where this rule/assumption comes from, rationality of it, pros/cons).

Any clinical experience or text recommendations beyond the standard anxiety literature welcome!! Looking to see how to expand use of theory a/b because it seems so helpful and non confrontational!

Hi all! I’ve booked my naturalisation ceremony next week. However, I have a domestic flight to Scotland planned two weeks after. Is there a limit to when you have to apply for a passport? Can I travel or should I take the train?

Really appreciate any thoughts, thank you. I didn’t realise there was a rule surrounding this.
