Dispute irrational beliefs (DIBs p. 46,) and obsessive thoughts, or do an ABC. (page 39). SMART Handbook p. 36, Part of DEADS.

Freeing yourself from rigid behavior patterns often requires that you also free yourself from rigid thought patterns. Just as exercise substitutes healthy for unhealthy behavior, counterthinking replaces troubled thoughts with more positive ones. Successful self-changers often rely on counterthinking more than on relaxation because this technique is quick, covert, and takes relatively little energy. It can be used under almost all the conditions that trigger problem behaviors. Prochaska, James O..
