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?
