Lesson 8: Managing Internal Causes Of Relapse - Slide 8
Self-Efficacy Is Not The Same As Bravado
- Bravado is reflected in behaviors done to show courage:
- I can read this once and I remember it all
- I can say no to anyone, anytime I want to
- I know all I need to know
- I have great will power and courage
- I don’t need to practice, I’ll remember it when I need it
- Bravado is dangerous, because you can fool yourself into believing that you don’t need to continue building skills, practicing, and gaining knowledge to change your behavior and your life
