Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eliminating Cognitive Distortions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) plays a crucial role in addressing and eliminating negative thinking patterns. Key to this therapy is recognizing cognitive distortions, which are ways individuals inadvertently create suffering in their lives. These include all-or-nothing thinking, black-or-white thinking, and emotional reasoning. A particularly disruptive distortion is the use of 'must' or 'should' in our thoughts, leading to unrealistic demands on ourselves and others—referred to as 'masturbation' in this context. Engaging in these mental demands typically results in frustration and conflict with reality, which ultimately leads to emotional pain. To regain personal power and clarity, it is essential to eliminate these 'shoulds' and 'musts' from our thinking. This change fosters a healthier mindset, allowing the mind to serve us effectively rather than dominate us.
