Hello all. My latest vlog on Mental Health Awareness. Please Like and Share this video. Subscribe to my channel. A research-base video, which educates in light, accessible tone and examples of common Unhelpful thinking styles leading to anxiety, stress and various other psychological issues. Stress is a ubiquitous part of human life, manifesting as a physiological and psychological response to perceived threats or demands.
While acute stress can be motivating, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on physical and mental health. This is where the fields of health psychology and cognitive psychology intersect.
The Role of Health Psychology
Health psychology investigates how psychological factors influence physical well-being.
It examines how stress, emotions, behaviors, and cognitions impact health outcomes. By understanding these connections, health psychologists develop interventions to manage stress and promote overall health.
Cognitive Distortions: The Mind's Trickery
Cognitive distortions are mental errors or biases that influence how we perceive and interpret information.
They often contribute to negative thought patterns and emotional distress.
“Overthinking” is also know as “worrying” or “ruminating” and it’s a form of anxiety from which many people suffer around the world. It is normal to fall into these thinking habits occasionally, especially when feeling down. But when a person consistently and repeatedly uses cognitive distortions, they can often cause themselves a great deal of emotional distress, and their mental health can suffer.
Cognitive distortions may be seen as a way to cope with adverse life events.
The more severe and prolonged these events are, the more likely that one or more cognitive distortions will form. These thoughts are usually not rational or healthy in the long term and can greatly impact how people feel and behave.
The Unhelpful thinking styles are as follows: -
• Mind Reading: - When we assume we tend to know what others are thinking usually about us. Where is the evidence? Are these my own thoughts?
• Compare and despair: - When we see the good in others but only the negative among ourselves. What would be a more balanced way of looking at this?
• Black and White thinking: - Believe things can only be one or two ways, good or bad, right or wrong. Allow for grey areas. Widen my spectrum
• Mountains and Molehills: - When we exaggerate a negative outcome or minimize a positive one.
• Prediction: - We believe we know what is going to happen.
Ask myself “Am i making predictions? How likely is it?
• Catastrophizing: - When we believe that the worst possible thing will happen.
Question myself- what is more likely to happen?
• Emotional Reasoning: - Feeling anxious means there must be danger. Feeling bad means things must be bad. The feelings are reactions to my thoughts- an automatic brain reflex
• Mental filter: - When we see only the negative- we have our gloomy specs upon.
Am I only aware of the bad things? Take my “gloomy specs” off and take a more realistic look.
