Today we talk about 7 ways of thinking – 7 cognitive traps – that increase our suffering and increase the likelihood we’ll abandon ourselves. They are:
- Stories
- Expectations
- Rules
- Shoulds/Oughts
- Judgments / negative self-talk
- Comparison
- Perfectionism
We define each of these, exploring how they show up in our lives. We talk about how to shed these ways of thinking when they no longer serve us. We also discuss what makes these thoughts so sticky, ingrained, and hard to get rid of.
