It is widely recognised that cognitive biases perpetuate psychological distress by maintaining negative perceptions of our relationships and the world around us. These Unhelpful Thinking Styles (UTS) are a key part of the mechanics of depression, anxiety, anger and many other psychological disorders. But how can we help clients identify these and break the vicious circles they maintain? And how can we as therapists and counsellors ensure that we ourselves are not falling victim to TUTS - Therapist Unhelpful Thinking Styles?
Examples of unhelpful thinking styles include:
- All or nothing thinking
- Emotional reasoning
- Personalization
- Catastrophising & minimization
- Jumping to conclusions
- Disqualifying the positive
