Cognitive Distortions

In this episode, Alina Vasilache, our clinical psychologist talks about the different types of thought processes we may have known as cognitive distortions.
These distortions are negative thinking patterns we have that are not always rational and can cause us distress. We discuss different types of cognitive distortions, how people with anxiety and depression are more predisposed to these thoughts, and how to deal with them.
