Deep dives

Understanding Negativity Bias

Cognitive behavioral therapy highlights the concept of negativity bias, where humans are wired to focus on problems due to historical survival instincts. In modern life, our brains still prioritize negative inputs even though immediate threats, like predators, are no longer present. As a result, this inherent negativity can lead individuals to overthink and create issues that don't exist, essentially leading to undue stress. To combat this, it's essential to consciously bring problems to the forefront daily, allowing one's brain to engage productively rather than spiraling into anxiety.
