- Distorted, illogical thoughts cause negative emotions like depression and anxiety.
David's Discouragement
- David Burns felt discouraged after a training session where he felt he made teaching mistakes and received some critical ratings.
- He realized his negative feelings stemmed from "should" statements and all-or-nothing thinking.
