In this episode, I will cover five of the ten cognitive distortions that David Burns talks about in his book Feeling Great.
The five distortions that I will talk about are:
1. All-or-Nothing Thinking
2. Overgeneralization
3. Mental Filtering
4. Discounting the Positive
5. Jumping to Conclusions
Cognitive distortions can have a powerfully negative effect on our lives. When we learn to recognize them, we are able to start the process of overcoming these negative and distorted thoughts with positive, wholesome ones. Learning to do so will bring your life to a new light. You will start to love life and yourself on a whole new level!
