Listen Later

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!

 

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

  • What are cognitive distortions, and why do they interfere with your thinking?
  • All Or Nothing Thinking- if it isn’t perfect, it is bad.
  • Overgeneralization- applying a label to everything because it happened once.
  • Mental Filter- ignore the positive and focus on the negative.
  • Discounting the positives- not valuing positive things that happen
  • Jumping to Conclusions- decisions not based on evidence
  • Magnification or Minimization- making things more significant or less significant than they are.
  • Emotional Reasoning- reasoning yourself into negative thoughts
  • Should Statements- criticism in form of “you should have” or “I should have”
  • Labeling- applying negative labels to yourself or others in reaction to a mistake or because something didn’t happen the way you expected.
  • Personalization and Blame- thinking you are to blame for things you have no control or influence over.
  • How to identify cognitive distortions
  • Showing yourself compassion and understanding in training yourself to break these habits.
  • Look for evidence to support what you are thinking or saying to yourself or others. Is it true?
  • Transformational vocabulary- instead of automatically falling into your cognitively distorted thoughts, how you can reframe what you say and how you think.
