Cognitive Distortions: Unraveling the Thoughts That Hold You Back

October 05, 2024 • Wendy Johnson • Season 2 • Episode 67

In this episode of *The Extraordinary Everyday*, we dive deep into the world of cognitive distortions—the irrational thought patterns that shape our perception of reality. Whether it's all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, or overgeneralization, these mental habits can hold us back in ways we don’t even realize. I share personal stories, examples of the ten most common cognitive distortions, and practical tips to help you recognize and overcome them.

You’ll discover how distorted thinking impacts your emotions, priorities, and self-esteem, and how to shift your mindset toward more balanced, empowering thoughts. Plus, I’ll walk you through simple steps to challenge these unhelpful thoughts and take control of your inner dialogue.

**Quote from the episode**:

"Your thoughts shape your reality, but you have the power to change them."
