Anger Reacting: 8-Step Example
- Sally called me an idiot.
- I should have known that term. I should have impressed her. I should have figured it out.
- I am stupid for not knowing that word. I am an inferior person for not appearing smart.
- I feel ashamed and discouraged.
- I am mad at Sally for calling me an idiot.
- Sally should be more understanding and not arrogant. Sally should think well of me.
- Sally is stupid for not understanding when someone doesn’t know a word. Sally is bad for making me feel bad. Sally is my enemy.
- I will make Sally pay for making me mad. She must never do that to me again. She must change.
Anger Reacting: Steps 5–8 With Helpful Focus
5. I am mad that I tell myself that I am stupid.
6. I should not put myself down because that only makes me feel bad and prevents problem-solving.
7. It is stupid to think I am stupid because it programs and scripts me to act stupid.
8. Self-damning is self-defeating. I must blame and damn myself less and less. I must blame and damn my stinking thinking more and more.
