10 COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS That Are Making You MISERABLE & What You Can Do About Them | Dr. Rami Nader

We all engage in negative thinking patterns that can contribute to us overreacting in various situations. These are often referred to as cognitive distortions or cognitive biases. This video explains the ten common cognitive distortions and what you can do to identify and challenge each one. The cognitive distortions include:
a) All or Nothing Thinking (2:04)
b) Filtering (10:39)
c) Disqualifying the Positive (18:04)
d) Mind Reading (24:15)
e) The Fortune-Teller Error (34:00)
f) Catastrophizing (41:37)
g) Emotional Reasoning (48:44)
h) Overgeneralization (55:38)
i) Labelling (1:02:00)
j) Magnification and Minimization (1:09:27)
By better recognizing and addressing these cognitive distortions, you can change the way you think and reduce negative thinking patterns that are driving anxiety and depression. It takes some practice, but it works.

    As a BPD the black and white thinking resonates. Even knowing about it doesn't stop me from doing it. I try to think on a scale of 1 to 10 when I remeber.

    Hi Dr. Rami, thank you for all of these videos. I sure wish you could or would put together a workbook or even write a book about all these things like how you have to change behavior and the other thing lol whatever that is I can't remember, what you really have to do to increase "motivation" and energy, All of the steps and features of setting appropriate goals for improving habits, etc. I have a ton of notes, but it's kind of a mess, and I feel like all the answers are here - it would just be such a help to have a written kind of guide book/outline/workbook or something. Just a thought, and thanks again for all the videos!

    So many of these topics I've touched on during therapy in my 30s. Even though I worked through many there's still some that remain. My therapist used to tell me therapy was like peeling an onion, as you peel back one layer, there's often other layers before you get to the issue. Thank you for your help

    Thank you for these videos they are helping me so much. Yesterday I went to the dentist after avoiding it for 4years. I am focusing on facing and accepting my intolerance of uncertainty i. Well the treatment was a bit painful but I managed to remain reasonably calm and realised that the pain now wAs probably saving me from worse pain later if I avoided the treatment.. Another small step towards sanity.

    Re: all or nothing mindset. This is a good one as we get closer to US election day. Many bridges were burned in 2016 election and its ramping up again. There is something to be said for discernment during election years. We can and do find out our philosophical differences,which affect day to day living, and if the divide is too vast then maybe the association was not meant to last. Want also to comment that certain cultures and ethnicities are more prone to negativity, the one I was brought up in, for instance. It can be quite difficult to overcome when the ancient script or narrative is installed into the brains of each new generation. Some excuse such ways of acting and thinking as "tradition", to me, some of it verges on erroneous and fear-based "superstitious behavior"

    How do you accurately do CBt when you most likely have high functioning g well masked autism and started visibly sliding downhill after high school until your fifties, but everyone thinks it’s laziness or depression Bnb or being spoiled. You’ve been diagnosed w ADD…. The only help you can afford is meds and books- but you need more . The neurodiversity aspect TRULY affects what works and doesn’t. Also been diagnosed bipolar 2, but some think that’s not really it Point is- it’s about ACCURATELy seeing what’s going on and doing differently with the specific right supports- IF they even exist. This is versus CBT aspects of just seeing your thought patterns at sabotage and attributing everything- even misunderstood neurodiversity etc as only that I’ve been trying to tease this apart for the past 7 years and can NOT go back to trying what o used to and getti mg the same results Help?!? Help me get oBJECTIVELY clear. I also know some of this seems xatastrophizinng, black and white and generalizing, but you do have to see some black and white in order to get clear

    @@royfr8136 Some of the negative things you though may be technically correct, at least in some small way. They can still get distorted. Even if a friend was gossiping in some way, that doesn't mean they aren't your friend too. You could have esp. high boundaries about what people share about you and your life, they might have loose boundaries, but they could still be your friend. There could be some all or nothing thinking involved. Unfortunately, many people lie, so we have to give grace. We don't want chronic liars as our close circle, but accepting that people are weak will help for much of life.
