Anxiety Symptoms & Cognitive Distortions
When Panic Attacks by David D. Burns
- Fortune Teller Error: Predicting the future negatively, assuming you know what will happen and it will be bad.
- All-or-Nothing Thinking: Black-and-white thinking, where you are either a total success or a complete failure.
- Overgeneralization: Making a broad negative conclusion that goes far beyond the current situation.
- Mental Filter: Focusing exclusively on the most negative detail of a situation, ignoring any positive aspects.
- Disqualifying the Positive: Discounting positive experiences or accomplishments by insisting they "don't count."
- Jumping to Conclusions: Making a negative interpretation even though there are no definite facts that support your conclusion.
- Magnification (Catastrophizing) or Minimization: Exaggerating the importance of problems and shrinking the importance of desirable events.
- Emotional Reasoning: Assuming that because you feel a certain way, what you think must be true.
- Should Statements: Motivating yourself with "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts," as if you had to be whipped and punished before you could do anything.
- Labeling and Mislabeling: Creating a completely negative self-image based on mistakes and perceived shortcomings.
- Personalization: Believing that others are behaving negatively because of something you have done or because of something about you that they find unacceptable.
