CONT

Putting your thoughts on trial and examining the evidence leads to a process called countering.

OBS

Counters should be statements of reality. ... if our irrational thought is "I am inferior in every way", a poor counter would be "No I'm not, I'm superior in every way". ... A realistic counter might come from simply asking other people for feedback about your ability. From this process you might come up with a counter such as "Everyone I asked stated that I was good at several things".
