Example: At a Party

• D = Dispute Irrational Beliefs (iB’s)

  • Why is this so terrible?
  • Where’s the proof that I can’t handle it?
  • What does it mean when I say I can’t handle it? Will I actually explode?
  • Must I always get what I want?
  • Is it in my long-term best interest to believe that I must have a drink?
  • Is this belief going to lead to my desired behavior?
