I've been reading the chapter in Dr. Burns' book "Feeling Good" on guilt, and it's making more sense to me than it has in the past. This morning I was working on the theme of guilt and documented my thoughts in the Observation tool. Here's what I have, and will probably continue to refine by adding a section of counter thoughts to each. As you can glean, I was feeling guilty for not working over this Memorial Day weekend. I capture my thoughts, then the feelings. Note that e-mail feature comes in handy for sharing stuff like this.
