Homework: devise your own experiment
Looking at your thought records see whether you can turn your NATs and assumptions into potentially falsifiable predictions. If you are feeling brave, select one or two and see whether you can come up with an experiment to test them out.
If you are finding this difficult or too threatening, use your completed safety behaviours box on page 90 and see what happens if you deliberately abandon one of your usual strategies.
Remember: you need to work out beforehand how you are going to measure the outcome of your experiment.
