Cognitive distortions are internal mental filters or biases that increase our misery, fuel our anxiety, and make us feel bad about ourselves. Our brains are continually processing lots of information. To deal with this, our brains seek shortcuts to cut down our mental burden. Being able to identify our thought patterns and address them is essential as part of good mental wellbeing. How to use: can be part of your own self-development or used with clients. Working through the cards which represent some of the common distortions experienced - this will enable clinician/you to look deeper at the self. Challenge any misconceptions you have with the four-step Cognitive Reframing process included in the flash card pack.
