We all fall into cognitive distortions at times. It’s those automatic thoughts that jump to the worst-case scenario, overgeneralize, mind-read, or go straight into all-or-nothing mode.
So when a client notices the distortion as it’s happening and shifts to a more balanced, realistic thought?
That’s a HUGE mental health win.
It means their brain is starting to slow down, evaluate, and choose a healthier perspective instead of running on autopilot.
