Cognitive Equation


Event --------------------------->Interpretation---------->Reaction/or Response
(for example, what another                (the meaning one assigns
person says)                                           to the event after running
                                                                through all the internal filters
                                                                of experience, unnoticed beliefs
                                                                  cognitive distortions, etc.)


This actually a circular and not a linear process. The reaction or response then becomes an event.


Which all just another way of saying what LH and Rap have already said.
