Naming the Distortion
An anxious thought can feel convincing simply because it sounds certain. This quiet CBT practice gives that thought a name, moving through six familiar distortions: catastrophising, mind-reading, all-or-nothing thinking, mental filtering, shoulds and personalisation. Naming is treated not as an argument, but as a steadier way to hear what the mind is doing.
Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
