Missed Perceptions (or Jumping to the Wrong Conclusion)

IT IS ONLY FITTING THAT THE TOPIC OF BELIEFS – DISTORTED, DYSFUNCTIONAL OR RATIONAL AND HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL – IS MENTIONED. IT IS ALSO FITTING TO REMARK, IF NOT INDEED
QUESTION, OUR PERCEPTION OF REALITY BASED ON THESE BELIEFS. IT IS NO ACCIDENT THAT A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR THERAPY HAS BEEN TO CHALLENGE OUR BELIEF SYSTEM – OUR
PERCEPTION OF REALITY. I WOULD SAY THAT MANY, IF NOT MOST (PERHAPS EVEN ALL) OF US, HAVE AT THE VERY LEAST BEGUN TO RECOGNIZE THAT OUR PERCEPTION OF REALITY AND OUR DECISIONS MADE FROM THIS PERCEPTION, MIGHT HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED US A FEW PROBLEMS.
