Divide into groups. Each member, working alone, identifies a “ problem emotion or emotions” – an inappropriate past emotion or a pattern that he or she would like to change. Each identifies ways in which they could change the object (in the future), correct erroneous beliefs, and/or modify value standards. Identify problems they might encounter doing this, for example defensiveness, discouragement, self - image, difficulty with introspection. Have each member perform mental experiments to anticipate how changing one or more of the three causes could change the emotion. If any member is willing, one example could be reported to the whole class.
