Cognitive distortions are thinking patterns that can take real problems, uncertainty, or discomfort and add an entirely new layer of emotional distress on top of them.In this video, I break down four of the most common patterns I see: black-and-white thinking, personalization, emotional reasoning, and catastrophizing. More importantly, I’ll give you a practical strategy for challenging each one without pretending your problems aren’t real or forcing yourself into “positive thinking.”The goal isn’t to convince yourself everything is fine. It’s to stop paying an emotional price for problems that exist primarily inside your own thought patterns.
I know what it is to feel hopelessly stuck and worthless to the world in general. I also know what it is to live without those feelings. I’m both a Clinical Psychology specializing in treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, and a human who has spent more than a decade managing sever depression and anxiety.
