Question

Chloe's boyfriend was late for their date on Saturday night. As she waited for him, she became more and more anxious and her mind began to run away with her. She found herself questioning her relationship and whether or not her boyfriend was being faithful to her. Which statement illustrates how Chloe can use the recognize and replace method to stop thinking negative thoughts about her boyfriend

Answer 1

Answer:

"I know that he's really late and he could be doing something wrong, but I don't know that he is. He's never given me any reason not to trust him."

Explanation:

The recognize and replace method is used in psychology in order to get rid of negative thoughts by recognizing a negative thought and replacing it with something positive that counteracts it or makes that thought null. Therefore, the statement that would accomplish this would be  "I know that he's really late and he could be doing something wrong, but I don't know that he is. He's never given me any reason not to trust him." This takes Chloe's fear and gets rid of it by understanding that her boyfriend never gave her reasons to not trust him.
