Cognitive distortions are not related to logic or intent. It is generally accepted without criticism, and if it is already tried to make a logical explanation, it will get out of feeling. Does this reflect the fact of your thinking? or what can I put in place of this thought? You can develop alternative thoughts by asking questions.
Most of the time, we are more compassionate and tolerant than the people we love. So think about your thoughts from people you love and give him the answers you give yourself. Let's see if it really comes as negative as when you live yourself.
The first layer is the basic beliefs, the diagrams. Our basic beliefs are useful for understanding and evaluating the situations we encounter. These beliefs are absolute facts for us and are very difficult to change, but they are not indispensable because they are the beliefs we have developed with innate experiences. The third layer, automatic thoughts and the layer between our basic beliefs are intermediate beliefs, the whole set of rules that we put ourselves in order to live with our intermediate beliefs are mediators between these beliefs and life. For example, the basic belief, I am an unloved person developed by the faith of the faith, people can love me if I do not oppose what they say.
Cognitive schemas may not be active at every moment of our lives, and we experience stress, depression and so on. situations. The person may have experienced many situations that would be in contravention of these erroneous ideas, he may have evidence against his misconception but still maintains his / her faith. We call these erroneous thoughts cognitive distortions.
Cognitive distortions can be likened to the fact that water breaks the light. Negative situations we encounter with negative schemes change direction in our thoughts when they come together, so they are breaking.
