Interpersonal Beliefs And Styles
The way we relate to others is influenced by many things, including our past relationships, beliefs about other people, and how we make sense of their responses to us.
This Interpersonal Beliefs and Styles tool can help you:
- Explore unhelpful patterns in your relationships and social interactions.
- Understand more about problems that keep occurring in your relationships.
- Clarify your ‘style’ or way of relating to others, including how you protect yourself in relationships.
Overview
Beliefs about relationships (interpersonal beliefs) scaffold and influence how an
individual perceives events involving other people. Interpersonal styles reflect safety behaviors that they use to protect themselves from perceived negative consequences in relationships. Other people react to these interpersonal styles, and the individual appraises these reactions: often in ways which confirm (or fail to disconfirm) the original beliefs. Interpersonal Beliefs And Styles is a therapeutic worksheet aimed at addressing common relational issues encountered by clients in therapy. By delving into their beliefs and styles of behaving, clients can recognize patterns that may contribute to their difficulties.
