When You Let Somebody Down

Sorts what you owe someone from what you are punishing yourself with.

Purpose: Sorts what you owe someone from what you are punishing yourself with.

When to use: Use this after you let someone down and cannot stop going over it.

Worksheet prompts

  1. What happened, and who did it land on?
  2. Split it up. What is fair to own, and what are you piling on?
  3. What would putting it right look like? One thing you could actually do.
  4. What do you want to say to yourself once that is done?

Owning it and beating yourself up are not the same job.
