What is the theory behind this seemingly irrelevant decisions worksheet pdf?
Decisions that don’t seem to have anything to do with your drug use but wind up putting you in dangerous situations are known as seemingly irrelevant decisions. Seemingly irrelevant decisions are based on minimization and rationalisation. These immediately raise the likelihood of lapse and relapse as a result.
