Not every thought deserves to stay on autopilot.
We all develop beliefs about ourselves, other people and the situations we find ourselves in. Some are helpful, while others can influence the way we think and respond without us really noticing.
In The Chimp Model, unhelpful beliefs are referred to as Gremlins, while more constructive, helpful beliefs are called Autopilots.
The aim isn’t to force positive thinking, but to notice when a Gremlin may be working against us and replace it with an Autopilot that is more realistic, balanced and helpful.
With practice, these more constructive beliefs can become easier to draw on when similar situations come up again.
Swipe through for a few examples of moving from a Gremlin to a more helpful Autopilot. →

When emotions are left bubbling beneath the surface, they don’t simply disappear. If we suppress them or don’t acknowledge them, they can turn inward or escape in the wrong place and at the wrong time — sometimes directed at ourselves and sometimes at other people.
Within The Chimp Model, the Chimp can hold onto emotions and the beliefs that come with them. The Human can step back, look at what actually happened, and help the Chimp work through those feelings.
This doesn’t mean reacting emotionally in the moment. It means recognising how you feel and selecting the right time, place and way to express it.
