B. Make a positive commitment to attempt to avoid such situations in the future
D. Try to identify any `dismissal tactics', those courses of action that are beneficial in getting away from the negative thought patternsExplanation

By making a positive commitment to avoid such situations in the future, the client can actively work towards creating a more positive and supportive environment for themselves. Additionally, identifying dismissal tactics can be helpful in breaking free from negative thought patterns and finding ways to cope and redirect their thinking towards more positive and productive thoughts.Rate this question:
