Negative Thinking
Negative thinking is thinking that leads to negative consequences. It based on false beliefs or on a few selective facts, and it ignores important facts that would lead to better consequences. Negative thinking is usually rigid, absolute, and not supported by most of the facts. When your thinking is rigid and absolute, you tend to take an all-or-nothing approach and you are resistant to change. For example, you may think that you are a failure at everything, and you may be resistant to hearing encouraging advice from your friends. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize negative thinking. You may only recognize that your life isn’t working. Cognitive therapy is designed to help you recognize your negative thinking and discover healthier thinking patterns. These are the common types of negative thinking. There is some overlap among them, and sometimes a thought can involve more than one type of negative thinking.
