You will have a thought; ‘I didn’t lock the door which means I’m going to be burgled’, the belief here is that this thought is true and the consequence is that you end up returning to check to see if you locked your door. Then the thought reappears when you leave, meaning you have to repeat the above a number of times.
The way we would look at this is by focusing on your belief system because the thoughts are irrational. You know you would have physically closed the door, turned the handle, put the key in and locked the door. This a method is known as ABC model which stems from CBT.
