The Art of Reframing
Automatic negative thoughts can feel like facts, but they are often just one perspective. Reframing is the skill of challenging these thoughts to find a more balanced, accurate, and helpful way of seeing the situation.

Catastrophizing
Expecting the worst possible outcome.
All-or-Nothing
Seeing things as only perfect or failure.
Mind Reading
Assuming you know what others think.
Emotional Reasoning
Believing that feelings are absolute facts.

Write the thought exactly as it sounds.
2
Evidence
Is it 100% true? What's the proof against it?
