-
Irrational thoughts or beliefs that can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. These cognitive distortions can have a major impact on our mental health and well-being, leading to feelings of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
10 COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS
PERSONALIZATION & BLAME
Attributing events or circumstances to oneself, even when there is no evidence to support this belief. Blame involves attributing negative events or circumstances to others, rather than looking at the context or multiple factors that may have contributed to the situation.
LABELING
Assigning global, negative labels to oneself or others based on a single event or trait. You see your entire self or as defective and globally bad, or superior.
SHOULD STATEMENTS
Making rigid, absolute statements about how you or others "should" behave or think. “Should” statements often come with feelings of guilt or shame if the person believes they are not living up to the standard set by the “should” statement
EMOTIONAL REASONING
Attributing events or circumstances to oneself, even when there is no evidence to support this belief. Blame involves attributing negative events or circumstances to others, rather than looking at the context or multiple factors that may have contributed to the situation.
MAGNIFICATION
Involves exaggerating the importance or significance of negative events or flaws This is also called the “binocular trick” because it’s like looking through the ends of a pair of binoculars, so things either look much bigger, or much smaller, than they are in reality.
JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS
Exaggerating the importance or significance of negative events or flaws. This is also called the "binocular trick" because it's like looking through the ends of a pair of binoculars, so things either look much bigger, or smaller, than they are.
MENTAL FILTERS
Focusing on a single negative detail while ignoring more positive or neutral information. You think only about your faults and ignore your positive qualities.
DISCOUNTING THE FACTS
Dismissing or minimizing positive or negative facts, events, accomplishments, or qualities. You tell yourself that negative or positive facts don't count, so as to maintain a universally negative or positive self-image.
OVERGENERALIZATION
involves making sweeping, universal statements based on a single event or limited evidence. You think about a negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat or a positive event as a never-ending pattern of success.
ALL OR NOTHING THINKING
Involves seeing things in absolutes, such as "always" or "never." It involves categorizing events or situations as either good or bad, with no room for nuance or shades of grey.
