1. The reading for Module 6 was a checklist of cognitive distortions and 10 ways to untwist your thinking. Think about two different types of academic experiences that have caused you distress. For example, you may have been distressed about having to meet with a professor, about an upcoming exam for which you weren’t prepared, having to give a presentation, having to do a small group project, etc. Reflect on the emotion you were feeling. For example, you may have felt fear, anxiety, tension, overwhelm, etc. a. In 3-4 sentences, explain the first experience and the emotion you were feeling. Use the reading to identify two cognitive distortions that hampered (or could have hampered) your ability to cope at the time. List both distortions in bold . b. For each distortion , in 2-3 sentences , describe/define the distortion and describe how it impacted (or could have impacted) both your feelings and behaviors during your experience. (This will be 4-6 sentences total). c. Now list two ways you could have (or did) address each distortion above. List both approaches in bold. For each approach , in 2-3 sentences , describe/define the approach how it impacted (or could have impacted) both your feelings and behaviors during your experience. (This will be 4-6 sentences total). d. Repeat prompts a-c for your second experience. 1. a. I was distressed about having to give a presentation, and I felt anxious. b. Catastrophizing : I believed that if I made any mistakes during the presentation, it would be a total disaster, and I would embarrass myself. Mind Reading : I assumed that everyone in the audience would judge me negatively, even though I had no concrete evidence of their thoughts. c. Cognitive Restructuring : I could have challenged the catastrophizing by reminding myself that making a mistake in a presentation is normal, and it doesn't mean it's a disaster. I could focus on the learning experience. Reality Testing : Instead of mind reading, I could have sought feedback from peers or the professor after the presentation to

gain a more accurate understanding of how it went. 2 ． a. I was distressed about an upcoming exam for which I wasn't prepared, and I felt overwhelmed. b. All-or-Nothing Thinking : I believed that if I didn't get a perfect score on the exam, it would be a complete failure. Discounting the Positives : I discounted my previous successful exams and focused solely on my lack of preparation. c. Thinking in Shades of Grey : I could have reminded myself that getting a less-than-perfect score on one exam doesn't make it a complete failure. I could aim for improvement next time. Self-Compassion : Instead of discounting my past successes, I could have acknowledged my previous achievements and used them as motivation to prepare better for the exam. 2. The Module 6 videos and assigned reading touch on some strategies for managing day-to-day anxieties, stresses, and cognitive distortions. However, it is important to recognize that sometimes, we may need additional support. Address the prompts below to discover various mental health resources available at UNC, including (but not limited to) Community Building, Identity-based Support , Mental Health Advocacy , Peer Support , and Professional Clinical Care . a. Visit the Mental Health Resources Hub Links to an external site. through the UNC Heels Care Network. b. Use the menu on the left to filter your search to resources “Already Paid Through Student Fees” and “Free Resources to All” . c. Scroll down and consider other filters that may be relevant to you, your dorm mate, significant other, or a close friend. d. List 3 different resources you discovered by name and bold the name of each . For each, visit the website and describe in 2-3 sentences what the resource provides. * Out of respect for your privacy, you do not need to note whether the resource you found is relevant to you, your dorm mate, significant other, or a close friend.
