This is a deep dive episode all about common thinking traps and pitfalls that we encounter as human beings. In the field, we refer to these as "cognitive distortions". In this episode, I break down ten of them for you and talk a bit about how to use your knowledge of them to your advantage. Here are the cognitive distortions that I cover in this episode:
- Mind Reading
- Personalizing
- Just World Fallacy
- Emotional Reasoning
- Shoulds and Musts
- Black and White Thinking
- Overgeneralization
- Filtering
- Catastrophizing
- Overestimating Power of Thoughts
Next week should be another Q & A episode, so please keep sending me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
