Inhibit Information Detox Distractions

Improved Essays
After watching the video, I found that I use about almost half of the strategies listed. For instance, I use inhibit information, detox distractions, and motivation. I will admit though that the strategies that I do use, I do not use it one hundred percent precisely. Specifically, I do have some trouble with motivation on certain levels. I have times where I can motivate myself but my brain tells me a better option which will not benefit me in the future. While, inhibit information and detox distractions, I use relatively well.

    Word associations consist of reading words and the person must respond with the first word that comes to mind. I played a version of word association during elementary school following the basic rule but never viewed it as a psychodynamic therapy. This experience, however, was the first time I viewed word association in a therapeutic format. I did not know what to expect and did not know what type of meaning word association gives.
