KC: Even though I have this belief that I have to be certain about the
outcome---I acknowledge this and am open to changing it

KC: Even though it doesn’t seem possible that I can change my
behavior---I acknowledge my apprehension and love myself anyway
EB: I have to be certain of the outcome

TH: I have to be perfect
EB: I want a guarantee
SE: I refuse to change
UE: I’ll feel like a fool

Have a great weekend!
