Catastrophizing

Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that involves anticipating the worst-case scenario and treating it as very likely.

Definicja

Catastrophizing occurs when a single problem is immediately interpreted as a sign of serious failure, loss of control, or irreversible consequences. It may increase anxiety, tension and avoidance of action. It's not about ignoring the risk, but about separating the real probability from the emotional alarm.

Praktyka i życie

Write down the worst-case scenario, the most realistic scenario, and the first emergency step. Then rate the probability of each as a percentage.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to dismiss a catastrophic thought as intuition. Another mistake is to convince yourself that "it will definitely be fine" instead of checking the data.
