Unhelpful Thinking Styles (Overview)
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines ten common unhelpful thinking styles, including should/must statements, overgeneralization, labeling, and catastrophizing. It explains how these automatic cognitive patterns can lead to emotional distress and provides brief descriptions of each style for self-identification. The resource is intended for general information purposes to help readers recognize their own thought patterns.
