Cognitive Distortions
Cognitive Theory
The way we think about the self
Cognitive Distortions
1. Filtering.
We take the negative details and magnify them while filtering
and why they act the way they do. In particular, we are able
5. Catastrophizing.
We expect disaster to strike, no matter what. This is
also referred to as magnifying or minimizing. There
is overestimation of consequences.
6. Personalization.
Everything others do or say, or natural situations, are
some kind of direct, personal reaction related to
oneself.
7. Control Fallacies.
If we feelexternally controlled, we see ourselves as
helpless a victim of fate.
The fallacy ofinternal controlhas us assuming
responsibility for the pain and happiness of everyone
around us.
8. Fallacy of Fairness.
9. Blaming.
We hold other people responsible for our pain, or take the
other track and blame ourselves for every problem.
10. Shoulds.
We have a list of ironclad rules about how others and we
should behave. People who break the rules make us angry,
and we feel guilty when we violate these rules.
11. Emotional Reasoning.
We believe that what we feel must be true automatically. If
we feel stupid and boring, then we must be stupid and
boring. You assume that your unhealthy emotions reflect he
way things really are I feel it, therefore it must be true.
12. Fallacy of Change.
We expect that other people will change to suit us if we just
pressure or cajole them enough. We need to change people
because our hopes for happiness seem to depend entirely on
them.
