Hey there! 👋

Even get caught out with the 3am worries about the awful things that *could* happen?

That's the gift of catastrophising:
🎁 One small thing seems to set off a tornado of consequences.
🎁 You agonise over the disasters and the worst case scenarios that could occur.
🎁 You seem to be mentally 'disaster prepping' a lot of the time.
🎁 You end up in a state of hypervigilance and anticipation of doom and gloom.

The problem with catastrophising is that it can lead you to feel like you're dealing with major catastrophes a lot of the time.

Is it time to ease up on catastrophising?

Therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can teach you to identify and shift such cognitive distortions to arrive at more balanced and sustainable ways of seeing the world.

How does all-or-nothing add to social anxiety?

Thinking in absolutes can mean that one tiny mistake means a conversation is completely ruined.

This way of thinking can make you:
🫢 Highly fearful of making mistakes (hey, we all make them!).
🫢 Constantly monitor others' expressions for signs of disapproval.
🫢 Avoiding doing anything in case you make a social error.
🫢 Feeling annoyed at yourself for one tiny mistake and believing you've completely ruined everything.

The good news is that therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can teach you to identify and shift all or nothing thinking to arrive at a more balanced way of seeing the world.

Join us as we dive into the world of cognitive distortions - ways of seeing the world that keep us in a negative mindset.

Today we're looking at all-or-nothing/ black-and-white thinking styles.

This is a cognitive distortion that we see a lot in highly perfectionistic individuals and others with rigidity of thought.

It's a thinking style that can:
Fuel frustration and anger
Lower your self-worth
Cause problems in interpersonal relationships
Wreck havoc with your body image

Is it time to ease up on all-or-nothing thinking?

Therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can teach you to identify and shift such cognitive distortions to arrive at more balanced and sustainable ways of seeing the world.

Food for thought... 🤔

22/08/2025

What are cognitive distortions? 🤔

They're systematic ways of thinking that have a negative impact on your perception of yourself, others, and the world.

These unhelpful thinking styles can lead to:
🫠 Catastrophising about the worst case scenario (e.g. "If I fail this test I'll be kicked out of uni and my career will be over before it's even started.").

🫠 Mind reading and assuming that others are judging you (e.g. "They think I'm incompetent.")

🫠 Believing that you are responsible for others' negative moods (e.g. "She looked so annoyed, I must've done something wrong.")

🫠 Having a black and white approach to achievement (e.g. "If it's not perfect then I've failed!")

Cognitive distortions are tricky to identify and shift. Try these tips from CBT:
1️⃣ Notice changes - most likely to your mood, or to your body's response in a situation. Negative changes can signify that a cognitive distortion has snuck in.

2️⃣ Find facts - What truth is there to the belief? What facts support it, and what facts discount it?

3️⃣ Find balance - What's another way of thinking about the situation that balances the facts supporting and disputing your cognitive distortion?

Hopefully this helps kick off your journey to reset your mindset.

There's a common misconception that changing mindset is just about changing your thoughts.... It's more complex than that!

Mindset is made up of:
🧠 Expectations
🧠 Heuristics
🧠 Memories
🧠 Heuristics..and any one of these can throw thoughts off course!

So when it comes to your mindset, pause and reflect on what's skewing your emotions?

Once you have a clear picture you can start to shift an unhelpful mindset.

Where do you choose to focus?

16/08/2025

Why is it so challenging to change thoughts that are clearly unhelpful? 🤔

There are many reasons as to why it can be hard to shift unhelpful thoughts, but one of the trickiest is that emotions are STRONG and can bias our judgement of what is safe.

Emotions bias the type of information we tune in to, as well as the type of information that we remember, and can reinforce:
🤯 Phobias and other types of anxiety
🤯 Low self-esteem
🤯 Low mood

If you're finding it hard to shift your thoughts try to gain some distance from when the thoughts and emotions feel HOT!

For a more tailored approach reach out to us! Our team of psychologists can help you to think in a more balanced manner in response to emotional triggers.

How does your mindset drive burnout? 🔥

Ever heard your mind telling you:
🧠 It must be perfect!

🧠 Only I know how to do it properly, it'll take me longer to explain it to someone else rather than to do it myself.

🧠 I can't let someone else take the glory!

🧠 I can't let someone else know that I don't know something!

🧠 I can't let them down!

🧠 They're relying on me!

These are just some of the unhelpful mindset thoughts that drive you to do too much and to burn out.

We work with many people who experience burnout and flipping the script on unhelpful self-talk and resetting the mindset can work wonders - it won't happen overnight but it can make a real difference to your experience.
