Examples Of Denial
Examples of denial are presented here not so you
will use these examples but so you will be able to identify them within
your thinking and within your emotional responses.
“This isn't happening to me.”
“Oh no, not me.”
“Everything will be all right.”
“It will all go away.”
“I really don't have a problem.”
“Don't think about it and it will go away.”
“It isn't my fault, it is _____'s fault.”
“Things just didn't work out.”
“I messed up.”
There are opposites of these thoughts or there are
additional thoughts a responsible person will want to tag onto the end
of these statements. Here are some examples.
“This isn't happening to me” becomes…“These
things are happening to me but I know I can find a way to handle or deal
with things.”
“Oh no, not me” becomes…“Yes, it is
happening to me but I have confidence and assurance through God who
strengthens me.”
“Everything will be all right”
becomes…“Everything will not be alright but I know I can find a way
to live again and live productively in spite of what has happened.”
“It will all go away” becomes…“It will all
not go away but I know God has given me the power and the authority to
deal with the way things are and to make something very good out of
something very bad.”
“I really don't have a problem” becomes…“I
recognize I have a problem and I take full responsibility for finding
and implementing a solution.”
“Don't think about it and it will go away”
becomes…“I will think about this problem or issue and I will find
solutions while I make choices to deal with this problem or issue.”
“It isn't my fault, it is _____'s fault”
becomes…“It is my fault. I take full responsibility.”
“Things just didn't work out”
becomes…“Things did not work out because I made mistakes. I will not
repeat these mistakes again.”
“I messed up” becomes…“I messed up but I
know what I did wrong, I will fix the mistake, and I will not make the
same mistake again.”
