Something to add: allocating attention in the correct order: 1. emotions 2. felt meaning 3. verbal thoughts
Otherwise you have the failure mode of avoiding painful emotions (even if they're being triggered erroneously) and then all sorts of bad things happen. So check in with (1) before (2) and (3). And check in with (2) before applying (3), because otherwise you're using cached thoughts.
