Negative automatic thoughts
This cognitive behavioral therapy session informed me that negative thoughts are automatically generated and inevitable. I find this information helpful , because I have often tried to avoid negative thoughts. I often become very self critical when negative automatic thoughts arise. This in turn makes them worse. It is encouraging to know good negative thoughts or part of human thinking in general, since the human brain was designed to detect threats. Consequently, my negative thoughts are not my fault. They are therefore not grounds for self criticism.. Additionally, the fact the negative automatic thoughts can be disputed makes me feel that I will increase my positive thoughts in the future.
