​

Crime fantasies and urges can have great storylines and really dumb beliefs.

​

Try not to get carried away with a crime urge. For instance, if a situation in your crime fantasy includes a tiled floor, and by chance a similar tiled floor appears in the real world, then by looking for the next stage of your crime fantasy (say a time of day) you can jump, be tripped or pushed into an offending mode. In short, you are blurring fantasy and reality. 

​

However, because reality often drastically improvises and edit any inner fantasy’s ongoing storyline and outcome, it’s best not to get too carried away, or indeed carry one too far. - For there are other dragons to ride and other worlds to ride to, where there will be other things to see and other challenges too!

​

Exercises: Change your beliefs about the crime (and indeed yourself) by changing the fantasy storyline into a challenging but law abiding one.
