Discern What’s True
Challenging inaccurate or outdated thinking and replacing it with clarity
Once we understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, we evaluate them. Not every thought you have is true—but many feel convincing. This step is about learning how to think in a way that is clear, balanced, and useful.
This is when emotional intensity starts to decrease—and your thinking becomes more stable.
Examples include:
Challenge “all-or-nothing” and other distorted or negative thinking patterns
Rework beliefs like “I should be further along” or “This always happens to me”
Reduce personalization, comparison, and self-blame
Develop more flexible, realistic interpretations of situations
Learn how to evaluate thoughts instead of automatically believing them
