Mindfulness-Based
CBT & DBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy that helps people identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve their emotional well-being. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of CBT that focuses on teaching skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, particularly for individuals with intense emotions. Both therapies aim to provide practical tools for managing and reducing symptoms of mental health issues.
Four Common Types of Thought Distortions:
All-or-Nothing Thinking
Seeing things in black-and-white terms, with no middle ground. For example, believing that if you're not perfect, you’ve failed completely.
Catastrophizing
Exaggerating the potential negative outcomes of a situation, often imagining the worst-case scenario. For instance, thinking that a minor mistake at work will lead to a total disaster.
Overgeneralization
Making broad, sweeping conclusions based on a single event or piece of evidence. For example, concluding that you’re bad at relationships because one relationship ended poorly.
Mind Reading
Assuming you know what others are thinking and that they view you negatively, without concrete evidence. For example, thinking that everyone at a social event is judging you unfavorably.
