Thoughts

•Fallacy of Fairness is believing things happen because life is not fair. For example, you might

think to yourself, “I got a B- on my math test because life is not fair.”

•Blaming is believing other people are responsible for your emotions. For example, you might

think to yourself, “some one is the reason why I am sad all of time.”

•Emotional Reasoning is when you assume an initial feeling is true just because you had that

feeling. For example, you might think to yourself, “I feel like I am a failure, therefore, I am a

failure.”

•Fallacy of Change is when you believe that other people need to change for you to be happy.

For example, you might think to yourself, “I will never be happy until some one changes her

attitude.”

•Global Labeling is when you attach an unhealthy label to yourself or others because of one

event or action. For example, if you forget to study for a test, you might think to yourself, “I am

unreliable

•Jumping to Conclusions is when you assume you know how someone else thinks or feels. For

example, if you get a B- on a test when you were hoping for an A, you might think to yourself, “The

teacher thinks I am dumb.”

•Catastrophizing is when you think the worst is going to happen all the time. For example, you might

be catastrophizing if you think to yourself before each test you take, “I am going to get the lowest

grade in the class!”

•Personalization is when you believe you have had an effect on situations or events you have no

control over. For example, if your boss yells at you all of the time, you might think to yourself, “It’s my

fault that my boss yells at me all of the time.”

•Control Fallacy is when you feel that you have no control or you have all the control. For example,

you may think to yourself, “Nothing I do will help me to get an A on my math test.”

Thoughts

•Filtering is when you ignore any positive aspects of a situation. For example, if you passed a very

difficult course with a C+, you were hoping for an A, you might think to yourself “I am a mediocre

student.”

•Black and white thinking is when you refuse to see gray areas and make all or nothing judgments.

For example, if you get a B- on a test when you were expecting an A, you might think to yourself, “I am

a failure.”

•Overgeneralization is when you assume that because something happens once it will always

happen again. For example, if you get a B- on a test when you were hoping for an A, you might think

to yourself, “I will always get B minuses on my tests.”
