We all engage in negative thinking patterns that can contribute to us overreacting in various situations. These are often referred to as cognitive distortions or cognitive biases. This video explains the ten common cognitive distortions and what you can do to identify and challenge each one. The cognitive distortions include:
a) All or Nothing Thinking (2:04)
b) Filtering (10:39)
c) Disqualifying the Positive (18:04)
d) Mind Reading (24:15)
e) The FortuneTeller Error (34:00)
f) Catastrophizing (41:37)
g) Emotional Reasoning (48:44)
h) Overgeneralization (55:38)
i) Labelling (1:02:00)
j) Magnification and Minimization (1:09:27)

By better recognizing and addressing these cognitive distortions, you can change the way you think and reduce negative thinking patterns that are driving anxiety and depression. It takes some practice, but it works.
