Good point Forest, I call that "running through the logicals" instead of the psychologicals.

When you begin to run through the psychologicals, that could be behind your symptoms, don't just think to yourself, "yes, my divorce is the reason..." Think to yourself, "how do I feel about getting divorced?" Don't run through the logicals of the divorce like, "well now I'll have to move out, or my friends and family will think of this and that...etc." Try to connect the emotion to the symptom.

If your mother has died, don't think, "well she was a good mother...etc." Think about how that makes you feel to have lost your mother. This is the connection that needs to be made to the symptom. The EMOTION. And the emotion should be of loss and emptiness, sadness, etc.
