Responsibility Pie

RESPONSIBILITY PIE

We often blame ourselves some feared future event that might happen. However, we

usually give ourselves more than our fair share of that blame and responsibility.

This “Responsibility Pie” is one way of challenging that distorted thinking.

Write down how responsible you would feel if the feared situation happened, using a

percentage scale with 0% being not at all responsible, and 100% being totally

responsible.

Now think about and write down all the other factors that may have contributed to this

event, and share some responsibility

Example: I crashed the car.

Now draw lines out to the circle from the centre and mark off sections for

each factor, according to how responsible that factor would be.

The part you are left with (if any) is how responsible you REALLY might be.

The Responsibility Pie can also be used when we blame ourselves totally for a bad

event that DID happen.
