Cognitive distortions (reality twisting): 1. "All or nothing" thinking 2. Overgeneralizing 3. "Black and white" thinking 4. Mind reading 5. Catastrophizing 6. Emotional reasoning 7. Labeling 8. Mental filtering (minimise the good and maximise the bad) 9. Personalization 10. Unreal-ideal

I am 45 years old and wishing I had learned all these skills 20 some years ago. It would have saved me from so much unnecessary pain. This is why, as my children are now 22 and 20, I really try emphasize real skills when battling anxieties and depression. Especially over the past year. There is so much joy when you realize you are not a prisoner to your brain. Be kind to yourself. 🙏 Thank you for these videos! I have even sent them to my kids, parents and friends!

Since 2017 been helping those facing cognitive distortions to live a normal life. Therapy, medication, theory or courses will not help. Only way is by talking to clear your mind. Watch this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKSi0cyNZc2adJc.html

“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”some of us we see failing as failure. Have a delightful day sharing some positivity to your side

Dang right way to go!!

"Don't believe everything you think." This was the most powerful thing from this video for me, and the little nugget of wisdom I'm most likely to keep in my head. Right next to similar phrases that I fully accept as wise advice, like, don't believe everything you hear, or see, or read....Adding this to the list. Don't believe everything you think. Great stuff.

I got rejected for n interview 😒😒I was so sad but after hearing your video I got some releif,Thank you very much.

I feel like I do all of them and sometimes multiple distortions frame my thinking. It leads to a lot of anxiety and depression and seeing these videos I’m realizing I’ve had this for much longer than I realized! Thank you so much ♥️

This is a critical checklist of destructive thinking habits that can make us miserable and accomplish nothing good. Done them all. I've studied these in the context of childhood PTSD and the coping mechanisms we develop due to that. I now catch myself doing these, forgive myself while I remind myself I don't deserve to feed myself this poison. Thank you!

The unreal-ideal gets me the most. It’s hard being 28 and seeing tons of people you graduated with all married with kids. I’m as single as I was in high school and I always beat myself up for it and think I’m a failure or undesirable. At least now I understand it’s my mind telling me this, not reality.

I literally use all of these. A lot of the time I know it’s not rational but it’s just the way I was taught to think

I have been watching and sharing your stuff! Thanks 🙏🏻 for your passion and help. Be Blessed!

Holy shit, when I have lost and totally confused and my inner child is driving the bus all of these things seem to happen. Thank you for making this video and reminding me that I don't have to believe that little dude. Love your work, thank you

Hey Emma so loved your eyebrows and makeup in the initial start of this video.and your valuable content as always.🤗🙏

Your videos are so helpful for developing understanding and gaining perspective.

Just finding your videos for the first time, and I am hooked. Love your delivery, and your insight into these topics. Thanks for the great content!

I am garnering a lot of wisdom from this series of yours! As I along with everyone else can't interject with their own personal story hinders a very tiny bit, I feel 95 percent of what you discus although not specifically to us help tremendously. Thank you.

I was always wondering why I was depressed and quiet I have done at least all of these and stuck in the void of negative thoughts this makes a lot of sense and has helped glad I found this

I can't thank you enough for these videos. They are a life saver. I recognize all of them, use them frequently and sometimes several together.

This was so helpful! Thank you, I truly appreciate you!

Thankyou so much for sharing these useful things here .You have been helping a lot .

Thank you for shedding on these cognitive distortions! I can very much recognize them happening in my mind.

Thank you so much! All of your videos are execellentent, The way you organise the concepts like in this one, the clarity, the honestity, the hope you transmit are engaging and simply breathtaking

Hi Emma! I’ve been watching couple of your videos and I have been learning a lot . I also love listening to your podcast Nutshell. Thank you for enlightening me and understanding people who are experiencing anxiety and depression

This video and series has been a blessing to me thank you!

Great presentation, easy to understand and follow. Opens the door for change. Thank you!

That's so kind of you that you are sharing this information with a lot of people beyond borders and continents ❤

Fantastic content as always. I appreciate you Emma. Thanks

Thank you for the video Emma!

I’m so happy this video popped up on my recommendations. I dealt with all of these for decades now.

So glad I came across your channel, I have watched quite a few of your videos and trying to get my daughter to do the same.

You're an amazing human being, these videos are helping my mom and I so much, thank you :)

Thank you so much for providing these videos for free. This course has helped me in ways that I can’t even explain, and I plan on making a financial contribution or buying the full course as soon as I am able. 💕

I love your videos. Keep more coming!

Your videos are life changing. Thank you Emma🥰

It's a lot of work, but it's empowering each time I catch myself w distorted thoughts, hope I get better at catching myself!! Thank you for this!

I've listened to this episode on your podcast and am now enjoying your video version. This message has been immensely helpful and has helped me unstick some sticky cognitive distortions. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your wisdom.

thanks for your videos. I've been having trouble with anxiety and starting a new job and this has been very helpful.

You are a great teacher! I enjoy your videos!

I'm an LMFT and these videos are great! I've been sharing them with my teletherapy clients. Thank you for this amazing content!!!

Thank you… just thank you. Your knowledge and energy is so calming. I’m so grateful for this amazing free resource.

Excellent video which sums up why anxiety is so rampant. I am trying to work on each of the 10 cognitive distortions and continue to view all the incredibly helpful videos. Thank you so so much

I so relate to these ways ,especially comparing myself to others ,and what I call "feelings arent facts"also,being able to see where others are going wrong ,yet not seeing the obvious in myself.

These videos have been so helpful for me, I have been doing my counseling and then I find having these reminders throughout keeps me in track. I actually have written down awhile ago I am not a mind reader, I will ask people if I feel insecure about an incident.

Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time and dedication to helping others.

Your videos are amazing! I am currently hitting a wall and just the fact that I can look at your videos and have someone to understand the thinking patterns of cognitive thinking that I am experiencing currently means a lot. I feel like I´m finally noticing everything that is wrong with my thoughts and have already tried some of the techniques involving noticing and not believing that they are true or helpful. Thank you for helping me take my first steps towards a happier and positive time.

This is so so helpful, thank you for your videos.

I've been waiting for this video from Emma and finally she released it.

Such a helpful episode.!!! I totally enjoy your information 🙏🥳 thank you!!! I tend to down play all my compliments so I need to rethink my mental filtering.. 👏👏👏👏

This is exactly 💯👏🙌 me never understood it in this way also !!! I'm in fairly good place but I have this distortions still a bit I'm learning thanks too wonderful people like you

I am learning so much from you. Thank you and God bless you

You are an amazing the lady. You are changing the world.

Thank you Emma M. for all your videos! 🙏

So much wisdom simply and clearly presented. TQ. Love the reminder: Don't believe everything you think. Challenge it. Get another's perspective. Yes 👍🏽

Oh my god! Your videos are healing the crap in my brain that I didn’t know how to get rid of. Thank you so much for them! Please keep making them.

Yeah so I've got all of those. Working on it. Gonna need the next video for sure : )

I find your voice relaxing.

Why did I not know I should not believe my thoughts 5O years ago ! Your channel is AWESOME. SO much good cotent. I do all this kind of thinking = depression & anxiety . TY so much 4 sharing

These videos are just great. They are informative and presented in a very professional way. I see these thought patterns in some people, particularly emotional responders and learning about them is useful in helping people to explore other options. Thank you and I hope "James" is a lot happier and confident now.

Oh, boy, I do ALL of these things ALL the time. I'm proud of myself for wanting/taking action to heal these things even though my chaotic environment isn't going to change. Taking small steps every day really helps with ALL OR NOTHING thinking, which is a big problem for me. I'm 43 now, but wish all this wonderful content was available so freely when I was in my teens so I could have started healing earlier. Anyway, THANK YOU for providing all this lovely content. Every little explanation, analysis, suggestion and encouraging word helps. 💕🧠💕

I just want to say thank you I started therapy 3 months ago and your videos have helped me with the process. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the video, very helpful!

This is the best summary and explanation of cognitive distortions which i have encountered on the Internet. Thank you for providing this. I have some elements of all 10 distortions. I hope I am not the only one lol.

Thank you. Love you. Stay safe. Stay happy. ❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you so much, this is really helpful.

Thank you so much for doing this 🙏🏻 I can’t afford therapy and we don’t even have it where i live so this is very helpful!

Omg, I just wanted to say Thank you!!! I have been going thru now from watching your videos what I’ve learned is Panic Attacks induced from my anxiety attacks, I just found your channel last night and I went to the ER a few hours earlier from what I thought was a heart attack and it wasn’t. I was literally my anxiety attack turned into panic attack and I watched this video one time and i had several panic attacks watching this but by the end and just up to now at 8a I haven’t had any panic attacks at all. Just slight anxiety attack but the point it that you are really helping ppl and I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU because I didn’t see any light at the end of my tunnel but now I do. I’m sharing all of your videos with everyone I know and love. Thank you again and again because I finally feel like myself just from watching this one video and now I will continue to watch as many of your videos as I can because I know this will help me and I’m also seeking a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist as of today. Thank you again and to anyone going thru anxiety, trauma or panic attacks hang in there, there is hope and you will make it thru this. So many times I thought I was going to die and only to end up in the ER and they say all of your tests are normal and we see nothing wrong with you. It’s all a mind game and you can control it. Trust the process and be kind to yourself. WATCH THESE VIDEOS YOU WILL MAKE IT! 💫✊🏾🎉✊🏾 Love, Light and peace to all! (I hope some of this made sense 😂)

Recognized using all of them in my own life, RIP 😶

Thank you so much, I really benefit a lot from your advice, I was suffering with depression and Anxiety for so long . Thanks again, God bless you much more.

This helped me so much I thank you!!
