I'm always left out of everything. • Overgeneralization involves taking a single negative event and seeing it as a pattern of defeat or failure in all areas of life. • Discounting the Positive: • Sure, I got an A on this project, but that was just luck. I'm not actually smart. • This distortion involves dismissing or downplaying positive experiences, achievements, or qualities. • Mind Reading: • She didn't smile at me so She must think I'm annoying. • Mind reading involves assuming you know what others are thinking or feeling, usually in a negative way, without any evidence to support your assumption • Fortune Telling (Predicting the Future): • I know I'm going to fail this interview. I always mess things up. • This distortion involves predicting negative outcomes without considering other possibilities or acknowledging past successes. • Magnification (Catastrophizing): • If I don't get this job, so my entire life will be ruined. • Explanation: Magnification involves blowing things out of proportion, and making events a bigger deal than they actually are. • Emotional Reasoning: • I feel stupid, so I must be stupid. • This distortion involves assuming that your emotions reflect objective reality, without considering alternative explanations or evidence. • Labeling: • I made a mistake, so I'm a failure. • Labeling involves putting global, negative labels on oneself or others based on specific actions or outcomes. • If you are like most people, you have probably fallen into at least one of these cognitive distortions. And, the longer that thought pattern has been a part of your life the worse you feel and the harder it is to change your thinking. • Luckily there is a type of therapy specially designed to help address cognitive distortions. • If you find yourself falling into negative thought patterns then you need to know about cognitive behavioral therapy also known as CBT • #cognitivedistortions #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
