Hard to See Negative Thoughts as Distortions


19 років тому 0 92 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
MsPuck, I'm right there with you! I have always had a hard time with the cognitive therapy approach. It's my cognitive process that is all cockeyed because of the depression, so what makes a therapist think you can see through the distortions and "stuff" to get to the bottom of your emotions!!??? So, yes, I do feel this way also. It is really hard to separate truth from lies in my mind sometimes. Part of me has just resigned myself to ignoring the negative feelings instead of trying to change them. I know this doesn't help much except to let you know you aren't alone. Kelly

WHen I do my thought records, I have a very hard time recognizing the negative ones as distortions. To me, they are true and not distortions at all. When a friend doesn't call for weeks, I have a hard time not believing that they just needed a "break" from me - (I need a break from me often!) - I know whatever one makes up is all a story and why not make up a positive story, or believe the positive story or excuse that you are given when you finally speak with the friend. If I do that, I feel like a fool for believing that. My ego feels so needy of being RIGHT - not sure I'm explaining this well, but would appreciate some feedback. Anyone else feel this way?>
