Reality tested

Reality testing is the practice of checking whether one's thoughts, emotions, and interpretations match the available facts.

Definicja

Reality testing helps distinguish fact from interpretation, fear from data, and impulse from real need. In development practice, it is a tool for critical thinking and self-regulation. In a clinical context, reality testing disorders may require professional help and should not be used as a substitute for diagnosis.

When a strong thought occurs, write down three columns: fact, interpretation, evidence. Only then decide whether the reaction is adequate.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to consider every emotion as evidence of reality. It is also a mistake to use fact-testing to suppress feelings instead of sorting them out.
