One of the incorrect assumptions that people often make when it comes to our thinking and how we respond to situations is:
**The activating event leads directly to emotional and behavioural consequences.**
This assumption overlooks the critical role that personal beliefs and interpretations play in shaping our emotional and behavioral responses. It suggests a direct cause-and-effect relationship that does not account for the influence of individual cognition and context. In reality, two people may experience the same activating event but respond very differently based on their beliefs, previous experiences, and interpretations of that event.
