13 Thinking Distortions

1. All or nothing thinking. Seeing things in black and white; anything short of perfection is seen as failure.
2. Over-generalization. Seeing a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
3. Mental filter. Dwelling on a single negative detail that colors all reality.
4. Disqualifying the positive. Rejecting positive experiences to sustain negative beliefs.
5. Jumping to conclusions. Making negative conclusions not supported by facts.
6. Mind reading. Arbitrarily concluding others are reacting negatively to you without verification.
7. Fortune telling. Anticipating, and experiencing as an established fact, things turning out badly.
8. Magnification. Exaggerating the importance of things.
9. Minimization. Inappropriately reducing the value of things or qualities of others.
10. Emotional reasoning. Assuming negative emotions reflect the way things really are.
11. Labeling. Attaching labels to yourself and others and describing events in emotionally-loaded phrases.
12. Should statements. Motivating yourself with "shoulds" and "should nots" which results in guilt and anger.
13. Personalization. Seeing yourself as the cause for events which you had no control over.
