Your friend Les is feeling awful after getting an unsatisfactory grade at midterm. He says to you "I'm not sure I should stay in college. I feel like a failure and will probably never amount to much in life." If you were using a cognitive approach to increase his motivation, what would you say?
By saying you are not a failure. You are a beautiful human being and don't let someone tell you otherwise. I would help try to talk about their feelings.. if they want too.
