If your therp rolls his eyes at a suggestion you make, which cognitive distortion is he probably making? |
If your therapist rolls his eyes when you suggest the idea that you
could be helped by reading Feeling Good by David Burns and doing the
exercises, he's probably making the fortune teller error.
The fortune teller error: anticipating that things will turn out
badly, and convinced that your prediction is an already established
fact. Rebuttal: Things will turn out as they will, I can't predict the
future. Things could also turn out well for me. I will allow good
things to happen to me by not expecting the bad.

Most anyone who has read Feeling Good by David Burns and has done the
exercises could tell you that.
Question: If your therapist can't identify cognitive distortions in
his own thinking, how is he supposed to help you identify and dispute
the cognitive distortions that you have in your thinking?
I suggest your cognitive therapist read this book if you notice these
cognitive distortions in his thinking.

if your therapist rolls his eyes at anything you say, the correct response
is the moe howard "pick two fingers" maneuver.

That be a bunch o' bullocks. If ye take a physics exam an' fail 10
times, how do ye predict the ele'enth will go? Some thin's be just
based on good old fashioned common sense.

WTF be a cognitive distortion? Thar be no reason why thin's be any
likelier t' turn out well than they be t' turn out poorly, if ye be
havin', say, equal evidence o' both. If yer life has been a series o'
failures, ye may posit that thin's will go badly.
It seems an honest approach be better.

I think the therapist was rolling his eyes at you, not at the book. If
you really read what people say, you decrease your chances of looking
like a noodlehead in a newsgroup.
