Cognitive behaviour theory (CBT)
CBT can help us reflect on when aspects of our thinking may not be serving ourselves or others wellOne aim is to become less subjective and more objective about our thoughts
Some classic pitfalls of errors include:
Catastophising - do we need to turn apparent mountains into molehills All or nothing thinking - whereas maybe we can find something in between Mind Reading - where maybe we need to take our guesses with a pinch of salt Emotional reasoning - where maybe we need to consider that feelings are not facts Over generalising -when we shouldn’t draw global conclusions from one or more events Making demands - where perhaps we can be more flexible Mental filtering - to got with your beliefs ad opposed to having a more open mind Low frustration tolerance Over personalising
Figuring out which thinking errors you make can make you more aware of them and enables you to manage them allowing you to develop alternative thinking styles
