I've recently been thinking about some of the most common types of faulty thinking (mental mistakes) we can all experience.
Much of the work I do in the coaching room is helping clients move from faulty thinking to rational thinking. This shift can enable transformative changes in behaviour and outcomes.
Examples from Cognative Behavioural Theory include:
- black and white thinking
- jumping to conclusions
- magnifying the significance of something (positive and negative)
- irrational labelling
- taking things personally
- catastrophising
- Irrational hopelessness/helplessness
- mental filtering (discounting info that doesn't fit with our existing beliefs)
... and many more.
Most of my clients are able to make a significant change in their life or circumstances simply by creating an internal shift in perspective. This is what coaching can help achieve.
How might a challenging situation in your life or work be made worse by faulty thinking?
