Fact Or Opinion
The Fact Or Opinion worksheet helps clients distinguish between objective facts and subjective opinions.
Fact Or Opinion
People sometimes treat their thoughts as facts about the way things are, but they’re often just interpretations or ‘best guesses’ that might be inaccurate or unhelpful.
The Fact Or Opinion tool will help you explore the difference between facts and opinions in your thinking. Learning to tell the difference can help you put your thoughts into perspective and re-evaluate unhelpful patterns of thinking.
Overview
One common cognitive error that often leads to distress is acting on our opinions as if they were facts. This cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) exercise assists clients in practicing the distinction between facts and opinions.
