Lesson 13: Self Control And Relapse Prevention - Slide 7
Self Control Is Sexy,
But Then So Is Losing It
- Novels and movies are filled with characters who exercised extreme self control and saved the world or themselves
- “Rocky Balboa” gave many people hope that they too could exercise self control and achieve their dreams
- Novels and movies are full of the opposite, characters who lost all control, “Trainspotting”
- Maintaining or losing self control is a common plot device and we love it
