Hi, I'm Dr. Calbeck, welcome to my virtual office. Today, I'm talking about mistakes in thinking, which is an important part of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. So the mistake in thinking that I'm focusing on right now is called emotional reasoning. Emotional reasoning is the mistake that you have when you think that because you feel a certain way, the situation must be that thing. So, for example, sometimes people are nervous when they fly and a person with a significant anxiety about flying will start to feel very anxious the moment they step on the airplane, or even before they get to the airport. So they start to have the heart race. They feel short of breath. They may break out into a cold sweat and the closer they get to the plane taking off, the more they feel this way. And so because they are having this strong emotional reaction, they convince themself that the situation must, in fact, be quite dangerous. And that is the paramount example of emotional reasoning. When you feel a particular way, you evaluate the situation as having those components to it in reality, when in fact you are using logic that is unhelpful. So when you find yourself appraising a situation based on your emotional reaction to the situation, it might be helpful to take a step back and ask yourself, are you basing your appraisal of the situation on the feeling that you're having or on the facts. In cognitive behavioral psychotherapy people often have to work very hard to distinguish between those two things, especially if they've been making this mistake for a long time. So I challenge you to start to recognize when you are making a mistake and thinking and basing your appraisal of the situation on the way your body is feeling. Thank you for joining me today.

Dr. Kaia Calbeck: Psychologist 300 W. 41st Street Suite 213 Miami Beach, FL 33140 https://ift.tt/352su5p Hi, I'm Dr. Calbeck, and I'm here to talk with you today about cognitive behavioral psychotherapy and mistakes in thinking. The mistake in thinking I'm going to talk about right now is called all or nothing thinking, which is sometimes called black and white thinking or dichotomous thinking. And this is when we take a very extreme viewpoint of something and extrapolate that out. So it might work something like this. For example, if you made a mistake during a presentation, you may focus only on that one mistake and determine that the whole presentation was a complete and abject failure. And because of this, you will continue to have nothing but failures in the future. This will lead you to feel sad and depressed and anxious, probably unnecessarily so in cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. This is one of those instances in which we would break down that thought, assess for the extreme thinking because I made a mistake. It's evidence of my overall capacity for failure. And then we would try to understand how that is affecting your emotional life. And if that kind of suffering is really that helpful or necessary at this time, then we would further ask ourselves about evidence against this belief and any evidence for it and try to understand if it's possible that the extreme thinking is not really serving a very helpful purpose at this point in time. So in this way, in this example of the person who made a mistake during the presentation, we would probably try to say that, of course, it's a bummer to make a mistake during a presentation, but that doesn't necessarily negate all of the other helpful information that was presented and that in the future we could do some practice for how to recover from mistakes during a presentation so that we can move forward in a more confident and helpful way. So that was just one example of dichotomous thinking, sometimes called all or nothing thinking or black and white thinking that we would look at and try to unravel a little bit in cognitive behavioral psychotherapy.

8/11/2020 0 Comments How to Stop Catastrophizing Mistakes in Thinking // Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Dr. Calbeck
Today's "Mistake in Thinking" is Catastrophizing. "Catastrophizing is when someone assumes that the worst will happen. Often, it involves believing that you're in a worse situation than you really are or exaggerating the difficulties you face." - healthline.com Learn More about Dr. Calbeck: https://ift.tt/2DHM3Vn Find Miami Beach Location Information: https://ift.tt/2PGLD3N Learn More about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: https://ift.tt/32REGor Transcript: Hi, I'm Dr. Calbeck, welcome to my virtual office. Today I'm talking about cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. One of the important parts about cognitive behavioral psychotherapy is recognizing mistakes and thinking. And the mistake in thinking that I'm talking about today is called catastrophizing. Catastrophizing is when you tell yourself that something is terrible or awful or a catastrophe. Now, listen, there are plenty of catastrophes out there and we should be clear about those when they are happening. And at the same time, it's possible to give yourself a lot of anxiety, a lot of concern that leads to unnecessary suffering when you identify non-catastrophic events as a terrible, horrible disaster. So one of the aspects of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy is recognizing when you're making a mistake by catastrophizing, what is happening. When we do that, we send a message to our brain and that induces a release of stress hormones that then leads us to feel very bad in our bodies. That creates an upward spiral of upset thinking and feeling and can lead us to make bad decisions. And it can also lead us to feel stagnated and a little paralyzed. So when you tell yourself that something is terrible or horrible or that you just can't stand it, ask yourself, is that logical and is that helpful? If there is truly a catastrophe happening, then yes, go ahead and make some plans to deal with the catastrophe. So, for example, here in Miami, when a hurricane is coming, that has the potential to be catastrophic and we should take action to prepare for it. But when we encounter a difficult situation but label it as a catastrophe, we are likely to feel overly upset and have an increased amount of suffering that is unnecessary. So when you have a difficult interaction with a friend or with a partner, remember to label that appropriately. That was tough. That was difficult. And here's how I can get myself through it. So I hope you enjoyed being with me today to think about the cognitive error of catastrophizing.
