What you'll learn
  • →Learn the four most common cognitive distortions: catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, mind-reading, personalization.
  • →Recognize which one is your default — most people have one they fall into more than the others.
  • →Practice the catch-and-name technique: when you notice the distortion, label it out loud.
Proof task

Don't just watch. Do.

For the next 24 hours, every time you catch yourself in a thought spiral, name the distortion out loud (or in your head): "That's catastrophizing." "That's mind-reading." Naming it weakens it. Catching it is the practice.

Your Three Actions
Based on what you just inventoried: name three specific things you are going to do. Not goals. Actions. This is the proof task.
Reflect

“Which of the four distortions do you slip into most often? What does it cost you when you don't catch it?”
