Heuristics

  • ●Spot "must/should/have to/can't stand" — challenge whether reality truly mandates it
  • ●Separate evaluating behavior from global rating of human worth — never sum a person to trash
  • ●Ask for worst-realistic case vs horror movie — quantify probability and coping options
  • ●Replace awfulizing with regret-in-context — bad outcomes hurt without cosmic doom
  • ●When angry at others, hunt for command beliefs hidden inside fairness narratives
  • ●When ashamed, check for perfection commandments vs flexible striving
  • ●After dispute, assign behavioral experiment aligned with new flexible belief
  • ●If intellectual insight stalls, tighten language — shorter sentences, fewer drama adverbs

Best Fit Scenarios

  • ●Pre-talk panic driven by mind-reading and fortune-telling
  • ●Perfectionism poisoning feedback conversations
  • ●Resentment rehearsals stuffed with moralizing demands
  • ●Shame spirals before asserting a boundary
  • ●Angry Slack drafts needing cognitive defusion
