yourself, “can I absolutely know that this thought is true?” (yes or no). Next, ask yourself the third question: “how do you react, what happens when you believe this thought?” and finally, ask yourself the fourth question: “who would you be without the thought?” (Katie, 2002, p. 19-20). Then you get to choose if you want to keep the thought or not. I find that there are very few thoughts that are absolutely true.
