Challenges:
Emotional distance/Logical reasoning:
It is easy to engage in critical thinking when a
subject has emotional distance from you. It
gets tricky when you are emotionally
involved. Thinking critically involves being
objective, and rationally and logically
assessing information. This requires a degree
of emotional distance to the topic in order to
be open-minded.

you may be challenging beliefs that you have
