I have had some good laughs in our chat room whilst disco dancing, but you cracked me up with your comment how you were aware of cognitive distortions but not aware of the PTSD Poll! Thanks @Mallaky for a great laugh!

EEgads! I need a library card now for all the good books I'll be reading. I'll be cooking with one hand and reading with the others until I go grey. I definately need to read this. Thanks Ms Spok.

@winterose I would be interested to read what you think about it when you are finished reading it. I, too, will be reading until my hair and teeth fall out. ;)

Are you aware of the top ten primary cognitive distortions as listed below?

1. All or nothing t...

1. I have just spent the last several months , 5 days a week, 6 hours a day in an intensive out patient program. The list is often used as a handout in group therapy.
2. Great list and spot on.

Books are a passion bordering on an addiction for me LOL

I'm definitely aware. Where I struggle is I understand the thought I have is distorted. It's then connecting the awareness to the change. Especially in times of heightened emotions

Did a lot of 5 today. -lot of jumping to conclusions.

Beautiful thing with this one though is that as quick as you can jump forward, that is how quick you can jump back.

It is tiring doing all that jumping though!

 

[ms spock]

It is exhausting @I'm not Spiderman!

I have David burns book did the depression test scored 96 and I decided that according to the outlay of the score that the book is not written for me. It clearly state that above 60 or so need therapy... I dunno I am Afrikaans and I struggle to understand that .. I know I am stupid. But I am not going to a therapist again. .. I sometimes think I am just silly...
