Question 2

Examine 2-3 cognitive distortions and explain how to change these distortions.​

Accepted Answer

Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts or beliefs that can negatively impact our emotions and behavior. Here are 2-3 common cognitive distortions and how to change them:

1. All-or-nothing thinking: This distortion involves seeing things in black and white terms, with no middle ground. To change this distortion, it's important to challenge the extreme thinking by looking for evidence that contradicts it. For example, if you catch yourself thinking "I always mess things up," try to identify times when you have succeeded or done things well. This can help to create a more balanced and realistic perspective.

2. Overgeneralization: This distortion involves making broad generalizations based on limited evidence. To change this distortion, it's helpful to look for exceptions to the generalization. For example, if you find yourself thinking "I never get anything right," try to identify specific instances where you have been successful or accomplished something. This can help to counteract the tendency to overgeneralize and see things in a more nuanced way.

3. Catastrophizing: This distortion involves blowing things out of proportion and imagining the worst possible outcome. To change this distortion, it can be helpful to challenge the catastrophic thinking by considering more realistic and balanced perspectives. For example, if you catch yourself thinking "This is a disaster," try to consider alternative outcomes and remind yourself that things may not be as bad as they seem.

In general, changing cognitive distortions involves actively challenging and questioning the irrational thoughts, looking for evidence that contradicts them, and considering more balanced and realistic perspectives. This process may take time and practice, but it can ultimately lead to a more positive and adaptive mindset. Additionally, seeking support from a therapist or counselor can be beneficial in identifying and addressing cognitive distortions.
