10 cognitive distortions from David Burns. Learn to name them — and they lose their grip on you.
Things are all good or all bad, no middle.
One event becomes a never-ending pattern.
Focusing only on the negatives.
Good things 'don't count'.
Mind-reading and fortune-telling without evidence.
Blowing things out of proportion.
'I feel it, so it must be true.'
Rigid 'shoulds' and 'musts'.
One act defines the whole person.
Taking blame for things outside your control.
