Your brain is constantly filtering reality, but what if those filters are twisting the truth? Cognitive distortions are sneaky thought patterns that make you believe things that aren’t actually true—and they’re a major reason behind anxiety, relationship problems, and low self-esteem.
In this episode of Shrink Shots, we’re breaking down:
✅ What cognitive distortions are and how they hijack your thinking
✅ Real-life examples of distorted thinking in celebrities, politicians, and pop culture
✅ The top cognitive distortions that fuel anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking
✅ How to catch and challenge these faulty thought patterns before they ruin your day
If you’ve ever spiraled into worst-case-scenario thinking, assumed people were mad at you with no proof, or felt like one mistake defined your whole life, your brain might be lying to you.
