Dispute

Ask yourself questions that challenge and dispute your irrational beliefs.

Tip: Make sure that each disputing question refers to the irrational belief directly above it.

Examples of disputing questions include the following:

• Why must I ...?
• Where's the evidence that ... ?
• How is it awful?
• How does a bad act make me a bad person?
• Where is it written that others must ... ?
• Just because I prefer X, does that mean that I must have X?
