CURE YOUR DEPRESSION

How Do Thinking Errors Influence Depression

What are the errors of thought?

When we experience our way of thinking about depression tends to change. This change in style of thinking can distort our perception, mood and behavior. It is essential to recognize when these processes take place, so we can learn to detach ourselves from them.

If we find ourselves saying things like "nothing works for me, he / she always does for me" or "I never considered, this is our reality right now time. If it were true that nothing works, that all men always behave like that for us, and we felt that was never really would be very depressing!

The first step in recognition of thought, if errors or biases affect our state of mind is first to note on paper the thoughts that float in and out of our minds. When this is complete, take a look at notes while viewing the list below (based on previous work by Aaron Beck, Burns and others). By focusing on the notes, thoughts and ideas highlighted that could be considered the thought of polarization on the following criteria.

all or nothing thinking: Seeing that things are good or bad. There is no middle ground and no shades of gray. Things are either complete or fundamentally flawed. It's not just black and white, not gray.

Disqualification positive: Positive does not matter, there is nothing special about the way I did. "It only happened because I was lucky."

Emotional reasoning: The emotion is proof that things are as they are. I think it must be true. The feelings are regarded as facts.

Fortune said, predicting the future in a negative way, without any real proof, for example, "will be terrible" "I will not" be a nightmare. "

Mind reading: drawing conclusions about what others think without any evidence. Think people think ill of us.

Mental filter: Selection of specific ideas to dwell on the negative and ignoring all the positive one.

If, should, and must state: having ideas that things can be done only in one direction. "People should ..." "I ..." "I really should ..." "He should not have ..."

Customization: Focus on things in the immediate environment and connect to itself. Consider, for example, is it on purpose because he knew I would not want that. "The world revolves around the car.

Over generalization: Given the events or circumstances unique to the show as it happens more often than they really are not. Thinking that things are happening everywhere.
Enlargement or reduction: Given the events and distort. Nobody is clean uneven look at a mirror distorting fair. Seeing things larger or smaller than they really are.

What happens if I think the face of prejudice?

If you think you recognize the faces of prejudice, presumably because of their strong emotional reaction they produce.

One might suggest that some parts of the brain is difficult to distinguish between thoughts and thoughts that are in fact based on fiction. (This is based on an idea that our bodies are constantly trying to progress in our minds, change our physiology to prepare for all situations that may arise in the future. In this sense, whenever we thought, our body tends parallel to produce a physiological reaction to match this response often occurs if there is no factual basis behind our thoughts .. For example, if we get totally absorbed in an interesting movie on television, our bodies produce Many physiological changes us without our leaving our seats) If we believe all our prejudices thought. our body will react as if they are true. Physiological reactions that we experience in response to our thoughts, then seem to give further evidence of our thoughts. For example, "I feel it must be true." Cycle can continue unabated, if allowed.

What can we do if we see that we face at the thought of prejudice?

If we find that our thoughts are the result of any model of those described above, it is likely they will be contributing directly to our mood and behavior. In this situation, we have a choice.

We can choose to question our thoughts and seek alternative evidence against them and / or

We recognize that we have thoughts biased thinking and recognize them for what exactly are "thoughts".
