CBT- Cognitive Distortions.

What is a cognitive distortion? Have you ever had an irrational fear or thought that influenced how you see the world? It was probably a cognitive distortion. Most of us experience irrational thoughts from time to time, but extreme cognitive distortions can be harmful.

In the next post I am going to be writing about, and reflecting on cognitive distortions and their impact on our mental health. We will be exploring some of the most common ones and how they influence our thinking in daily life.

When someone is able to correctly identify and reflect on a cognitive distortion, they can avoid and minimize these irrational thought patterns. This will result in higher self esteem, lower anxiety levels and a balance outlook on life.
