THINKING ERRORS

Thinking Errors are unhealthy thinking patterns or irrational thoughts that we all sometimes used to avoid taking responsibility for something we have done. One of the problems with thinking errors is that by using them it becomes easier for us to avoid being completely honest. This makes it much harder to get the treatment we need to avoid re-offending in the future. Most of us use thinking errors at one time or another but some of us use them more often and in ways that can hurt others and ourselves.

Here’s a list of Common Thinking Errors:

Blaming: Putting it off on somebody else. Blaming usually builds up resentment and anger toward someone else.

For example: “It wasn’t my fault.” “She came on to me.” “The police framed me and made me say I did it.” “I wouldn’t have an anger problem if my parents didn’t piss me off all the time.”

Minimizing: Believing that it really wasn’t that bad. Sentences that often starts with the word “Just” or “Only.”

For example: “I just touched her breast.” “I only did it once.” “He probably won’t remember me touching him when he’s older.”

Denial: Believing that you didn’t do it all.

For example: “That wasn’t me.” “I didn’t do anything.” “I didn’t touch her.” “We were only wrestling.”

Justifying: Taking a little bit of responsibility, but giving a reason to make it sound like it was OK to do.

For example: “He yelled at me, that’s why I hit him.” “My girlfriend wouldn’t have sex with me. What was I supposed to do?” “My Step-mom pissed me off so I messed with her little girl.”

Excuses: A way of finding an explanation that makes the action totally acceptable.

For example: “I committed my offense because I was sexually abused.” “My victim asked me to do it.” “I molested her because I was curious about sex.”

Entitlement: The belief that you have the right to do what you want. It disregards the rights of others and treats others property and bodies as if it’s the offender’s right to do with as they please.
