- Psychology researchers have known for a while about something called cognitive distortions. These are negative or irrational patterns thought patterns that can play a role in diminishing your motivation, destroying your self-esteem and contributing to mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
Any of these negative thought patterns are dangerous because they lead you to believe something that isn’t true. They lead you to inaccurately perceive reality, and it can be very damaging.
The term cognitive distortions was coined in 1963 by psychologist and researcher Aaron Beck (1963) to describe “idiosyncratic thought content indicative of distorted or unrealistic conceptualizations’”. (Reference)
In this episode I share some of the most common cognitive distortions I’ve come across in our work with professionals all around the world, and 4 powerful practices you can apply to avoid getting sucked in.

Marvelous technique to spend time
Hi.. Shade'. Thanks for the insightful message. Very valuable tips. Required it. Appreciate your efforts
Valuable insight of the mind.
You pack so much information in the videos.Alas.If only I could hear you a little early in life.
I will follow the 4 practices adviced by you.
Thank you so much.
Hi Shade, great video! You touched on an important topic about overthinking, but I believe there's another critical aspect to consider. Our thought processes are strongly linked to our physical health. In fact, health issues like stomach problems or hormone imbalances can trigger anxiety and affect the way we perceive the world around us. Sometimes, our unconscious mind activates a "safety system" that leads us to focus only on negative aspects. For example, it does make sense to think only negative aspect if you left your 4 years old child at home alone. Unfortunately, our conscious mind often struggles to stop negative thoughts that arise from the unconscious mind. Overall, I appreciate your video and wanted to add some additional thoughts to the conversation. Keep up the great work!
A great lifeline.
Cognitive distortions:
1. Overgeneralisation - using negative experience of a particular event with some other events
2.Mental filter - filtering out only the negative experiences from an event
3. Catastrophising - blowing things out of proportion
4. Personalisation - Always making you a victim
5. Labelling - attaching negative labels to yourself
Corrections :
1. Observe - Thinking about our thinking
2. Replace absolutes - everytime to sometime
3. Labels to facts
4. Keep record on automatic negative thought
Hope it helps 😊
Your vedios are always filled with plethora of knowledge from the field of psychology...I admire your efforts Mam for making such invaluable vedios and enlightening us with your knowledge...Thank you so much 🙏
This is impressive!! I knew there was something wrong with me, I suffer from social anxiety, I´ve been coming to Toastmasters for 6 weeks, and now people tell me that they don't see me as a nervous guy as I always describe myself, in fact they say that I speak really well in front of people , yesterday I felt I did it terrible, but they congratulated me, and said that I did it really well, much better than the last time, but I felt completely the opposite, it seems that my head is playing this cognitive distortions with me, thank u for let us know about this, I'm gonna start practicing this!
It is an eye-opener to me. Looking at myself, my thought processes, most of it was negative emotions and ill-feeling. Now, I realise how to start new myself, learning from your best advice. Thank you, Mam.
This was great material there are always distortions where I make sweeping unnecessary judgement which I'm working hard on not doing but to think different. So thankful for these short videos.
Knowing something is enough to solve half of the problem. Appreciate your invaluable research for us.
You are a blessing to mankind 💐
Thank u for your deep knowledge of psychology. Sending my love from India.
I am so grateful to have you in our lives Shade Zahrai
You are amazing, you speak fast English. I am Chinese, I completely understand your English. If I can understand you, I will probably understand most of the native English speaker. Thank you so much. I tell you everything from my heart. Have a wonderful day . Bye for now.
Wow, thank you. Well done on improving your English comprehension! 💪
Thank You for always teaching me something new My Amazing Teacher Shadé
Sending You Lots of Divine Love and Light!! 💖💎
You're giving great advice about positive affirmations. I also want to add that there will be those people I will put you down because of a negative situation. They try to engrave in your mind that you're not worthy a positive things even when it's not your fault the negative outcome occurred. So there will be doomsayers and overly critical people. The trick is to counter their negative message they try to force upon you
I greatly admire your work and am a big fan of what you do. I genuinely wish you abundant success in all your endeavors and pursuits.❤️
Shade is a guardian Angel!!!
I have been undergoing all these cognitive distortions for years.They have resulted in exactly the same outcomes as said in the video. I have been meditating a lot to trace the roots of the problems. As a result, I have already been following some of the remedial practices highlighted in the video.
The entire episode is amazing and so insightful. But for me, the best part is the fist half.
Thank you for sharing it. Keep uploading such videos.🙏
I like your personality. You have worked hard trying to help others. God bless you!
Wow from now onwards I started believing in life. That help is appreciated.
Reframing is such an important way of getting out these thinking processes that can often feel entrenched. I will definitely be on the lookout for 'ants.' Thank you for the insights Shadé.
Managing our mind is the toughest task in the world. Great techniques and all are awesome. No words to thank you Ma'am. Keep Rocking......
Love the way you communicate and your gestures & facial expressions are on point while delivering the message. Love from India ❤️
Thanks, Shadé! Your videos are very insightful ☺️
This is what I needed to hear today!! I'mma victim of over-generalization
Great teachings Shade so many gems in such a short period of time!
Great value Shadé!
Thanks for this
I've all the problems mentioned in the video 100%, for years, regarding my confidence and personality. It sucks and I know i wouldn't be going for this solution coz I'm drained of focus and hope.
You are master at quantifying vivid aspects of Psychology using hard hitting jargons...
Thanks for sharing this insightful video with an incredible explanation as usual 👍
100% on point, Madam Shadé
Thank you! Video is absolutly clarifying..!
So true... Glad that I am here... Thanks so much
Cues the process and solution is a great way to explain this
Thank you soo much
Great advice. I have been guilty of catastrophic thinking myself at times. It's amazing how the mind dwells on the negative if thinking about the negativity overpowers positive thoughts. In order to conquer that I always go to my Christian faith and remind myself that I belong to God and I'm royalty, and I can conquer this situation with His power
Faith helps to bring you back to a realisation that not everything is within your control and helps one make sense of events that may not go the way you wanted them to...the higher power decided it was just not right for you this time.

So scientific and academic in a form of life experiences.
Thanks for making difference in my knowledge and my life 😊
This video is very helpful and informative thankyou shadé ma'am
Short,crisp and the wonderful presentation ❤️....more power to u,girl 🙂
Very helpful I’m understanding that I have a lot of cognitive distortions about how I perceive my life
I did observation, and trapped into intrusive thoughts. I think what is challenging in this phase is trust your thought. Since your thinking your thinking, it's very risky to get blurry into the other thinking, which one you should believe then. Take it into a convo with someone you trust or just go to the profesional would help
I obsessed of your information is so helpful
Thanks for the information... I really need this
Nice Video, so basically being positive and accurate in our approach helps
Loved it! More power to you SZ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your videos are very positive
A very excellent program
Im stuck in cognitive distortions about my lack of value as I was scapegoated by my school for organizational issues and kicked out.
I ended up not getting my degree and struggling to get the quality of work and relationships I want as a result.
I hate myself and find it hard not to hate everyone involved. I just have to remind myself that it's not their fault for being ignorant.
I'm struggling to remember who I used to be before I trusted them.
I've been following your videos for the past few days, and I truly appreciate your speaking style and the insightful information you share. Your content brings me joy, and I aspire to be as effective in my communication as you are. Can you offer some guidance on how I can start improving? Your work is truly amazing, and I look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks for insight. Loved it Shade.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I was watching this video, paused, and went straight to google search the different ways to hold a pen. And I am glad I did. I found the different grips, both right and wrong, that people use to hold a pen while writing. Thank you Shade!
Excellent insights Shade. How is your doctoral degree coming along? Big fan. Keep up the good work. Brad
Great one mentor🙂👏

Well explained
I was really hoping that I was using one of those five psychological distortions. Unfortunately, my life is really that bad. Though, I do consider myself blessed for the “bad” to be a first world bad!
Amazing information
I am loving you seriously
Hrai. Your perceptions are keys for our next steps. But, I don't know...
