5 Cognitive Distortions

1. All or Nothing Thinking: You see things in black or white catagories.
2. Overgeneralization: You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
3. Mental Filter: You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened like the drop of ink that discolors the entire beaker of water.
4. Disqualifying the Positive:  You reject positive experience by insisting they "don't count" for some reason or other. In this way you can maintain a negative belief that is contradicted by your everyday experiences.
5. Jumping to Conclusions: You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definte facts that convincingly support your conclusions. e.g. a. Mind Reading and b. The Fortune Teller Error.
