(Cognitive distortions): the act of the mind convincing oneself of something that simply isn't true- the end result is engaging in toxic acts of self sabotage.
(Filtering): this is when you take negative details and magnify them while filtering out all positive aspects of a situation. When you pull negative things out of context isolated from all of the good experiences around you, you make them larger and more awful than they really are.
(Positive thinking): you see things as black or white, good or bad. You perceive everything at the extremes, with very little room for a middle ground. The greatest is danger of polarized thinking is its impact on how you judge yourself.
(Overgeneralization): when you come to a general conclusion based on a single incident or piece of evidence- can lead to a restricted life as you avoid future failures based on a single incident or event.
(Mind Reading): Without them saying so you think you know what people are feeling and why they act the way they do.- they tend to jump to conclusions.
(Catasrophizing): You expect disaster, you wonder and ask a lot of "what if's"- you don't trust in yourself and your capacity to adapt to change. Personalization: This is the tendency to relate everything around you. The person who does this is usually someone who questions their worth, continually forced to seek value of yourself as a person.
(Control Fallacies): the two types are external and internal. With external controlled means that we view our behavior in success as something that is beyond our control, not from within but something external from ourselves. Internal fallacies means that you are responsible for the pain, happiness, failures, and successes of everyone around you.
(Fallacy of fairness): You feel resentful because you think you know what's fair, but other people may not agree with you. Blaming: You hold other people responsible for your pain, or blame yourself for every problem.
(Shoulds): You have a list of ironclad rules about how you and other people should act. Emotional Reasoning: You believe that what you feel must be true.- the issue with this is that our emotions interact and correlate with our thinking process.
(Fallacy of change): You expect that other people will change to suit you if you just pressure them enough. The underline assumption of this style is that your happiness depends on the actions of others. Global
(Labeling): You generalize one or two qualities into a negative global judgement; view of the world can be stereotyped and one dimensional. Global labeling ignores all contrary evidence- creating a view of the world that can be stereotyped and 1 sided.
(Being right): You feel continually on trial to prove that your opinions and actions are correct. Being wrong is unthinkable and you will go to any length to demonstrate your rightness. Being right becomes more important than honest and caring relationship.
(Heaven's Reward Fallacy): You expect all your sacrifice and self denial to pay off, as if there were someone keeping score. You feel bitter when the reward doesn't come as expected. The problem is while you are always doing 'the right thing", if your heart really isn't in it, you are physically and emotionally depleted yourself.
