If I were a psychologist, my specialty would definitely be Cognitive Psychology, which this quote from Steve Chandler pretty much sums up in just a few words.
CP focuses on the way we process outside information.
When we apply faulty reasoning, invalid assumptions, and misconceptions to otherwise neutral events, we end up with “cognitive distortions.”
Examples are “all-or-nothing” thinking, over-generalizations, and jumping to conclusions.
The best book I’ve found on the subject is Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by Dr. David D. Burns.
