Course overview
Lesson Overview
3.5 – Identifying Common Thinking Traps: Thinking traps are mental habits that twist how we see ourselves and the world. They include patterns like all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralizing, mind reading, or catastrophizing. These traps trick you into reacting emotionally instead of rationally, often creating unnecessary stress or self-doubt. Psychoeducation helps you identify these traps quickly by showing how they distort logic. Once you learn to spot them, you can pause and ask whether your thoughts match reality. This awareness breaks the automatic cycle of reaction, creating space for calm and accuracy. Recognizing thinking traps doesn’t mean judging yourself—it means developing mental literacy that strengthens emotional stability. As you practice, your mind becomes more flexible and less prone to extremes. Over time, identifying and escaping these traps becomes a natural part of daily reflection, helping you think, feel, and respond with confidence and clarity.
