Why Counseling Matters: Unlocking the Benefits of Talking It Out with Flourish Counselling Services
August 28, 2024A thinking pattern is an habitual way our minds process what happens to us and around us.
Some of our thinking patterns are good and healthy, reflecting what’s true, while some are not so good, they reflect significant distortions of truth which needs to be challenged and replaced with the truth.
Unhealthy thinking patterns can generate negative emotions within ourselves and towards others which in turn adds to unnecessary pain and difficulty within relationships.
They stem from a variety of sources, including personal experiences, upbringing, societal influences, and cognitive biases.
Regrettably, many individuals may not be aware that they are engaging in negative thinking patterns.
So, which one do you identify with?
– Do you make mountains out of mole-hills?
– Are you the “It doesn’t really matter” type?
– Do you think “probably its all your fault”
– Are you the “If I feel something it must be true” type?
– Do you assume that whatever happened before will unavoidably happen again?
– Are you that kind of a person, who believe that there is only one way to do things?
Nearly everyone seems to fall victim to at least one of the six thinking patterns.
But, you ought to concerned if you identify yourself with more than two of these negative patterns.
It’s quite reassuring to note that unhealthy thinking patterns are not fixed or permanent. With awareness, effort, and support, individuals can challenge and reframe these patterns to cultivate healthier ways of thinking.
The bible says (2 Corinthians 10:5) Take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.
Do not struggle alone, we are here to help you flourish.
Incase your negative thoughts are deep rooted, therapy comes in handy.
