Grab your copy of my Cognitive Distortions worksheet so we can discuss all the unique ways we distort our experiences.
"Cognitive Distortions" are so common and you are not alone. These distortions negatively impact our daily interactions with others and ourselves.
Recently, a client came to me to overcome childhood sexual abuse by a close family member. We discovered that she had not discussed what happened with any of her immediate family members effectively isolating herself from her circle of support.
She had applied the big cognitive distortion - Jumping to Conclusions which includes Mind Reading and Fortune Telling.
She had convinced herself that sharing her story would result in those closest to her treating negatively in the future.
I'm happy to say that with encouragement and understanding of her personal distortions, she shared her story and discovered that her sister had also been abused. 40 years later they are closer than ever and they have each other to talk to and that's healthy and healing.
Look at your copy of the Cognitive Distortions worksheet and then openly discover how you distort your experiences and effectively, sabotage your happiness.
When you realize how distorted you are, you can start the journey to change and positive experiences.
More on this topic will follow - it's a big change that will have an incredible impact on your life. Pay attention to your distortions.
