Right!
Common thought distortions you might have experienced:
1. Mental Filter
2. Disqualifying the Positive
3. 'All or None' Thinking: this type of thinking is when we see things purely in 'black or white'. These types of thoughts are characterised by terms such as or 'every', 'always', or 'never' . Everything is seen as good or bad or a success or failure. It is generally the negative perspective that is endorsed, discounting all the shades of grey that lie in between the two focussed on choices.
4. Overgeneralisation
5. Jumping to Conclusions
6. Magnifying or Minimising
7. Personalisation
8. Shoulds and Oughts
9. Emotional Reasoning
10. Labelling: an extreme form of 'all or none' thinking and overgeneralisation. Rather than describing a specific behaviour, an individual instead assigns a negative and highly emotive label to themselves or others that leaves no room for change.
