24 Cognitive Distortions Flash Cards (Digital Printable)

Do you need a handy resource to help identify Cognitive Distortions? These 24 flash cards will help clients and individuals identify common thinking traps with easy-to-read explanations and sample expressions of negative thoughts.

What are Cognitive Distortions?

What we think often affects the way we feel and how we behave. Sometimes, negative thinking patterns create a recurring loop that lead to low mood, negative self-esteem and anxiety. In psychology, Cognitive Distortions (also known as Thinking Traps or Thinking Errors), are used to describe a way of thinking that doesn't necessarily match up to reality. By recognizing cognitive distortions, we can begin to question the source of these thoughts - and replace them with more balanced thoughts.

This resource is a great educational resource that is helpful for anyone learning to identify negative thought patterns. Ideal for personal use, home use, or in-therapy use. Great resource to include for clients in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy programs.

Print as a poster, cut out as individual cards, provide as handout, or share during online virtual therapy sessions. Great for counselors, therapists, psychologists, social workers, health educators, or any mental health professionals! Re-print as many times as needed. If printing, we recommend laminating the cards for further durability.
