The Format of profiling your experience of GUILT is 

1. WHEN (you identify the triggering or activating events)

2. I FEEL (you identify the level of impact that accompanies guilt)

3. I RESPOND BY (you identify the behaviours or actions that accompany you feeling guilty)

4. BECAUSE (you identify the thinking that accompanies the experience of GUILT)


WHEN

I violate my own moral code (I break my rule(s) actively [action, comission]
I fail to live up to a shared moral code (I break my rule(s) passively [inaction, omission]
I hurt the feelings of a significant other (friend, close associate, spouse etc.)

Other WHENs

I experience FEELINGS associated with Guilt

to this level 

I RESPOND BY 

Escaping from the unhealthy pain of guilt in self-defeating ways
Begging forgiveness from the person wronged and promising unrealistically that I will not sin again
Punishing myself physically or by deprivation (starving, abstinence)
Disclaiming responsibility for wrong doing

Other Responses you make

BECAUSE

I assume that I have definitely committed the sin
I assume more personal responsibility than the situation warrants
I assign far less responsibility to others than is warranted
I do not think of mitigating (reasonable causes) factors
I think that I will receive retribution (payback, punishment)

Other Becauses
