I saw Dr Phil speak about faulty thinking on a show about weight loss. His list of faulty thinking is a great way to think of the more common negative assessments people make about themselves.

  • Externalising/internalising
  • Labeling
  • Frustration Thinking
  • Fortune-Telling
  • All-or-nothing Thinking
  • Catastrophising
  • Pipe Dreaming
  • Gut-level Reasoning
  • Self-downing
  • Poor Me Thinking
