Now they knew that no one would see it. Or if they would see it, it would be without a name-
他们知道其实没人会看的,就算被人看到,
completely confidential. So they were really able to treat it as their own journal.
这些日记也是匿名的,绝对保密,所以完全可以看成是他们的私人日记
And here was the instructions that these participants got. It's a little long but worth, I think, worth reading.
以下就是他们得到的指示,有点长,但值得一读
"Write continuously about the most upsetting or traumatic experience of your entire life."
“连续写下你一生中最难过或最痛苦的经历”
Don't worry about grammar, spelling, or sentence structure. In your writing, I want you to discuss your deepest thoughts and feelings about the experience.
不必在意语法,拼写或句子结构。在日记中,我希望你能谈谈你对这经历的最深刻的想法和感受
You can write about anything you want. But whatever you choose, it should be something that has affected you very deeply.
写什么都行,但不管你选什么,都必须是对你有着深刻影响的
Ideally, it should be about something you have not talked about with others in detail.
最好是一些你从未怎么跟别人讲过的事
It is critical, however, that you let yourself go and touch those deepest emotions and thoughts that you have.
其实挺难的,因为敞开了心扉去触碰那些你内心深处的感情和思想
In other words, write about what happened and how you felt about it, and how you feel about it now.
换句话说,就是写下你的经历和以前的感想以及现在对它的看法如何
Finally, you can write on different traumas during each session or the same one over the entire study.
最后,你可以每次都写不同的痛苦经历,也可以整个研究过程都写同一个经历
Your choice of trauma for each session is entirely up to you." Simple instructions. Pretty straight-forward. If you notice, you see the ABCs in it.
每次你可以选择任何想写的痛苦经历,很简单的做法,很直接。如果有留心,就知道当中包含了ABC三个要素
So it says "write about what happened", which is the behavior essentially.
它包含了“写出发生的事”,也就是行为
Write about your deepest feelings- your affect, your emotions. And write about your thought and analyze it.
写下你的深刻感受,受到的影响以及你的情感,写下你的想法并分析它
