Cognitive distortions

Cognitive distortions are repetitive, inappropriate ways of interpreting situations that may intensify difficult emotions and impede action.

Definicja

Cognitive distortions include, but are not limited to: catastrophizing, black and white thinking, overgeneralization, mind reading, negative labeling and filtering. CBT is not about shaming yourself for having such thoughts, but about noticing the pattern, checking the facts, and creating a more balanced interpretation.

Praktyka i życie

Write down a difficult thought and check whether it is fact or interpretation; what cognitive error may appear here; which version is more sustainable?

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to consider every negative thought as a distortion. It is also a mistake to fight thoughts without checking the data.
