TEMPS 18

ByPaul Brennan RPsych

My ability to think varies greatly from sharp to dull for no apparent reason.

I love to tackle new projects, even if risky.

I am often fearful of someone in my family coming down with a serious disease.

I constantly switch between being lively and sluggish.

People tell me I am unable to see the lighter side of things.

When someone is late coming home, I fear they may have had an accident.

I get sudden shifts in mood and energy.

I am the kind of person who doubts everything.

My mood often changes for no reason.

I am a very skeptical person.

I go back and forth between being outgoing and being withdrawn from others.

I can get so furious that I could hurt someone.

I go back and forth between feeling overconfident and feeling unsure of myself.

I often get so mad that I will just trash everything.

I have a gift for speech, convincing, and inspiring to others.

When crossed, I could get into a fight.

I often get many great ideas.

When angry, I snap at people.

Switchbacks

ByPaul Brennan RPsych

An Acceptance and Commitment metaphor Suppose you are taking a hike in the mountains. You know how mountain trials are constructed, especially if the slopes are steep. They wind back and forth; often have “switchbacks”, which make you literally walk back and forth, and sometimes a trail will even drop back to below a level…
