Posted by Rex Alexander on Sun 9 Nov 25 in David Burns, Depression, Ten Cognitive Distortions with Comments closed |
latest (133×181)  Negative thinking patterns can be immensely deceptive and persuasive, and change is rarely easy. But with patience and persistence, I believe that nearly all individuals suffering from depression can improve and experience a sense of joy and self-esteem once again.”
