ABSTRACT

The principle of overlearning states that if you go over an idea many times, even more frequently than is perhaps necessary, then you are more likely to retain what you are learning. Thus, encourage your clients to challenge their core irrational belief repeatedly, either by using a single proven dispute or by using different types of disputes. Explain to them that the more they are able to do this, the more they will learn how to dispute their beliefs and the more they will remember the outcome of their disputes.
