The end goal of this process is allowing yourself to work out and understand that the pro’s of tolerating a situation far outweigh the pro’s of not tolerating it.
When we lay our pro/con list out with both the PROS/CONS of Tolerating Distress AND the PROS/CONS of Not Tolerating Distress, we get a much better idea of which decision is wisest for us.
another Way to look at this...
- What would you do if you choose not to tolerate the distress?
- What Urge does this type of Distress trigger in you?
- What would you do to escape the Distress?
