Odds and cost

Odds and cost offers one bounded practice step without promising a particular feeling or outcome.

Use when: spiralling thoughts, health worry, preparing

How the practice works

1. Read the frame Odds and cost is an educational self-help exercise. It does not diagnose or guarantee an outcome.
2. Name the situation Name one specific present situation without unnecessary identifying details.
3. Record what you notice What is one honest observation or next behaviour you choose?

“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.”

— Seneca, Moral Letters 13
