3 Negative Thinking Traps and How to Reframe Them

Thinking traps-also known as cognitive distortions–are something we all experience to a degree. They are basically errors in our thinking processes; where context is overlooked, information that was left out is assumed, or we assign motivations that we don’t actually know to the people around us.
