PSYCHOLOGY OF US

Our thoughts directly impact our emotions. One way to change the way we feel is to change the way that we think. In order to
change our thoughts, we first need to become aware of our thinking.

Whenever we feel distressed, anxious, or down, we tend to exaggerate, oversimplify or make harsh judgments. These are called
‘cognitive distortions,’ which is therapy-speak, for thoughts that might sound rational and true but are twisted by our fears. They are
distortions of the truth and facts. They are the emotional hooks that make us spiral and feel hopeless about the future.
