Challenging Root Beliefs (using the questions for challenging Twisted Thinking)

Am I falling into Twisted Thinking?

All or Nothing Thinking

Should and Ought Statements

Catastrophe!

Glass Half Empty…

Jumping to Conclusions

  • Is there evidence for and against my thoughts?
  • Is there another way to look at this?
  • If it is true, what can I do?

We can apply Twisted Thinking questions to challenging Root Beliefs. 

Root Belief = Could be true or false, NOT fact!
