Step 1: Aside from you, what are all the possible contributing factors to the situation?

• Make a list of everything and everyone you can think of.

• Think about what a friend would say to you if you mentioned you felt responsible for the situation.

• Think about what you would tell a friend who said they felt responsible for a loss.

 Step 2: Think about all of the factors you’ve listed: how much does each contribute to the situation?

• Add all the answers to question 1 and attribute a slice of the pie to each factor.

Keep a copy of your new pie-chart to remind you: it’s not your fault.
