A- antecedent events or activating B= belief C-consequences D-disputation

"what proceeded before" we have emotional & behavioral consequences when things happen to us. EX" boyfriend leaving you, loosing a job." this stuff happens BEFORE the feelings we get

what I told myself leads to the consequences. Bad rep you're giving yourself in your head. THIS CAUSES C. If you could tell yourself positive things here, you wont have a negative C

the things you do after the event because of what you told yourself. Such as feeling bad about yourself, drinking, etc.
