In this podcast, I chat about Unhelpful Thinking Styles, also known as "Cognitive Distortions" which are a key part of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Cognitive distortions are exaggerated patterns of thought that are not based on facts and can result in people viewing things more negatively than they really are. It is normal to fall into these thinking habits on occasion, especially when feeling down. But when a person consistently and repeatedly uses cognitive distortions, they can often cause themselves a great deal of emotional distress and their mental health can suffer.
