Cognitive games

Cognitive games are a practical term for the ways in which the mind distorts, bypasses, or arranges interpretations to reduce tension or protect self-image.

Definicja

Cognitive games are not a formal diagnostic term, but a name for repetitive thought maneuvers: rationalization, selective filtering of data, shifting blame, black-and-white thinking, or choosing only convenient evidence. Their function is to protect against shame, fear or responsibility. The problem arises when cognitive play replaces contact with facts.
