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.”
          ~David Burns, author “Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy”

Ten Cognitive Distortions & Four IB’s

REBT-CBT is built on the premise that we all make fundamental mistakes in the way we think about ourselves, other people and life in general, and that these mistakes (irrational beliefs and cognitive distortions) are the real cause of (virtually all) of our misery and dysfunction and failure.
