The Importance of Thought Biases in Anxiety
Thought biases, such as catastrophizing and black-and-white thinking, are common patterns of thought that can contribute to anxiety. Catastrophizing involves thinking of the worst-case scenario and playing it out in the mind, while black-and-white thinking involves polarized and extreme perspectives. These biases are not faults of the brain, but rather automatic and adaptive responses. By recognizing and labeling these biases as one possible perspective, individuals can reduce the power and intensity of their anxious thoughts.
