Challenging Thinking Traps!

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about Thinking Traps through videos with Dr. Emma Richardson. Thinking traps are common unhelpful patterns of thinking which can increase feelings of anxiety and depression. Some of the thinking traps covered include Catastrophising, Shoulding and Musting, Overgeneralising, and Mental Filtering. Check out how to use “Thought Challenging” questions to address these and other common thinking traps in the image below.
