COGNITIVE DISTORTION

The incompatible thought systematic that develops without realizing can mislead all life…

Cognitive distortions poison relationships ...

A person may tend to poison himself and his relationships, sometimes by having unhealthy thoughts. Clinical Psychologist Nurdan Gündoğdu from Medilife Beylikdüzü Hospital Department of Psychology emphasized that 4 poisonous "cognitive distortions" are the most common among those emerging in different forms. It is necessary to be aware of what these poisons are and to know the antidotes. ” "This poison can affect the individual's social environment and cause problems," says Clinical Psychologist MSc Nurdan Gündoğdu, who noted that they could poison themselves first with the thoughts that are not adaptive (adaptive, adaptive). Clinical Psychologist MSc Nurdan Gündoğdu from Medilife Beylikdüzü Hospital Psychology Department, which lists the most common types of “Cognitive Distortion” as “To conclude immediately, to attribute to personality, to disaster and to think in black and white”, lists these four cognitive poison and antidotes:

Poison trying to get to the conclusion immediately

“It is the poison of the relations and decisions to take place immediately, without having enough knowledge about the events and situations around us, without waiting for the person to finish their explanation, without sufficient evidence about the subject, person or situation. To prevent this, it is important to stop, breathe and think before panic and overreaction. The right question to ask is this: Do I have enough information before I evaluate? For example, a speaker may think that it is very boring if someone is yawning while speaking. However, the yawning person may have a sleeping problem, had a hard day or is already yawning with everyone… ”

Poison to attribute to personality

“When an adverse event or experience occurs, the individual may tend to blame himself directly without any valid proof. Sometimes individuals show themselves as the main source of the problem and automatically develop the hypotheses to feed it. For example, as if I'm inept making friends. In this case, we should ask ourselves: How many times have you tried to make friends and failed, was this always the case? ”

Disaster poisoning

“In the face of a situation, it takes the form of producing the worst possible result. The individual makes an assessment without thinking about the outcome and taking into account other possibilities. It is the complete contrast of being hopeful. It is important to reduce disastrous thinking and increase hope. Because realistic hope will make the individual feel better. Being hopeful will increase our energy, make it easier for us to move, and help us achieve our goals. When we disaster the situation, we fall into the belief that that situation is unbearable. For example, instead of being able to withstand it, we can ask ourselves with realistic hope: Do I think the worst now? If it is the worst, I don't like it, but I can handle it. ”

Black - White thinking poison

“When the individual thinks in black and white, he will only conclude on the basis of two options. This option is either good or bad; it often includes judgment about ourselves and others. Judging ourselves will reduce our energy and reduce our motivation. People we love may have some features that we do not like, and people we do not like can have some features that we like. Instead of being incompetent in everything, it would be useful to make sentences like I can cook, I can listen to the other person. An individual may think that there is only one right way to choose; however, there are thousands of different shades between black and white and there are many solutions. ”
