It's very important to challenge negative thought patterns instead of automatically accepting them as facts. Techniques like asking for evidence, reframing situations, perspective taking, questioning emotional reasoning, and counter catastrophizing can help students manage discouragement and approach setbacks more realistically. I plan to apply these strategies by helping students build confidence, reduce anxiety around the job search process, and stay focused on productive next steps.
I will absolutely be using the circle of influence to help guide my students. Understanding what they can control and building confidence in that "circle" can help them feel empowered to move on to more challenging "circles". Excellent visual!
