In the previous posts, the topic of denial has been addressed in terms of the emotions and the affair itself. Since denial has a way of effecting so many parts of our lives, it is important to understand the extent of denial. The previous two posts were types of denial that people are used to encountering. The nest type is denial of what you thought. in the aftermath of an affair, large quantities of confusion fill ones days and nights. The thoughts that run through your head are often unfocused and reactive. This third type of denial addresses the topic of denial of thought.
Denial of what you thought. Besides denial of emotions there is also a denial of thought. There were thoughts that you experienced. Some you dismissed, some you chose to dwell on and some you choose not to speak about. Some of the thoughts you experience may be malicious and evil. Although you will not want to act out those thoughts, you will need to be honest with yourself about what those thoughts are and how they are influencing your choices and behaviors.
