Experience Narrative:

Before leaving home, you repeatedly check appliances to ensure they're turned off, fearing a fire might occur. This time you will leave home after checking once over in the kitchen.

Belief to be tested:

"If I don't check appliances multiple times, my house will catch fire."

Alternative Perspective:

"Appliances are designed to be safe, and a single check is sufficient to ensure they're off."

Safety Behaviours to drop:

Repeatedly checking appliances. Seeking reassurance from others. Avoiding leaving the house.
