    Cognitive Errors: Mahwish Naz

    Uploaded by

    Cognitive errors are inaccurate thoughts that reinforce negative thinking. Some common cognitive errors include catastrophizing by predicting the future negatively, jumping to conclusions without facts, seeing things in black and white terms, focusing only on single negative details, believing you know what others are thinking without evidence, thinking emotions reflect reality, rejecting positive experiences, anticipating things will turn out badly, using negative labels, generalizing from single events, believing others' behavior is about you, and having rigid ideas about how you and others should behave. These errors maintain negative beliefs contradicted by experiences.

    COGNITIVE ERRORS

    Mahwish Naz
    • Cognitive errors are simply ways that our
    mind convinces us of something that isn't
    really true. These inaccurate thoughts are
    usually used to reinforce negative thinking
    or emotions — telling ourselves things that
    sound rational and accurate, but really
    only serve to keep us feeling bad about
    ourselves
    Catastrophizing 
    •  Predict the future negatively without
    considering other, more likely outcomes
    • “I’ll be so upset, I won’t be able to function
    at all.”
    Jumping to conclusions
    • Make a negative
    interpretation
    though there are
    no definite facts
    that convincingly
    support
    conclusion.
    All or nothing thinking

    • Person look at things in


    absolute black and white
    category .
    • Young women on diet
    ate a spoonful of ice
    cream , i have blown my
    diet . this completely
    disturbs her thought.
    Mental filter
    • Pick out a single negative
    detail and dwell on it
    exclusively so that your vision
    of all reality becomes
    darkened.
    • “Because I got one low rating
    on my evaluation (which also
    contained several high
    ratings), it means i’m doing a
    lousy job.”
    Mind reading
    • Believe you know
    what others are
    thinking, failing to
    consider other, more
    likely possibilities.
    • “He’s thinking that I
    don’t know the first
    thing about this
    project.”
    Emotional reasoning
    • Think something must be
    true because you “feel”
    (actually believe) it so
    strongly, ignoring or
    discounting evidence to
    the contrary
    • “I know I do a lot of things
    okay at work, but I still feel
    like i’m a failure.”
    Disqualifying the positive
    • Reject positive experiences
    by insisting they "don't
    count" for some reason or
    other. In this way you can
    maintain a negative belief
    that is contradicted by your
    everyday experiences.
    • “I did that project well, but
    that doesn’t mean i’m
    competent; i just got lucky.”
    The fortune teller error
    • Anticipate that things
    will turn out badly, and
    you feel convinced that
    your prediction is an
    already-established
    fact.
    • Before paper tell
    yourself that you will
    blow it , what if i flunk
    Labeling
    • Instead of describing error, attach a
    negative label to yourself.
    • “I’m a loser
    Over generalization
    • View a negative event as a never ending
    pattern of defeat.
    • Because i felt uncomfortable at the
    meeting, i don’t have what it takes to make
    friends.”
    Personalization
    • Believe others are
    behaving negatively
    because of you, without
    considering more
    plausible explanations for
    their behavior.  
    • “The repairman was rude
    to me because i did
    something wrong.”
    Should statements
    • Have a precise, fixed idea of
    how you or others should
    behave and you overestimate
    how bad it is that these
    expectations are not met.
    • “It’s terrible that i made a
    mistake.  I should always do
    my best.”
    • The emotional consequence
    is guilt
