Cognitive distortions — systematic errors in thinking — are both symptoms and drivers of transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. Identifying and correcting them is core to CBT.
Common Cognitive Distortions in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy
All-or-nothing thinking: 'I failed once, therefore I always fail' — common in transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy
Catastrophizing: Expecting the worst-case outcome for transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy-related situations
Mind reading: Assuming others are judging you negatively
Fortune telling: Predicting negative transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy-related outcomes as facts
Emotional reasoning: 'I feel like I'm failing, therefore I am' — transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy emotions mistaken for evidence
Should statements: Rigid rules about how you or others must behave that create transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy when violated
Correcting Cognitive Distortions in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy
The CBT process: identify the distorted thought → examine the evidence → generate a more balanced alternative → notice the effect on transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy.
With practice, cognitive restructuring becomes automatic and transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy loses much of its staying power.
