Cognitive distortions are faulty thinking patterns that cloud your judgment and increase stress. Some common ones include:
All-or-nothing thinking: Seeing things as only good or bad.
Catastrophizing: Expecting the worst-case scenario.
Overgeneralization: Drawing broad conclusions from one event.
Personalization: Blaming yourself for things beyond your control.
At Seven Doors To Heaven, awareness exercises help you identify and challenge these patterns — leading to mental clarity and emotional healing.
