CBT - Cognitive Distortions - Lies We Believe

In this powerful episode of Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we shine a light on cognitive distortions—the sneaky, distorted thoughts that twist reality and keep us stuck in cycles of fear, shame, and self-doubt.

Whether it’s catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, mind reading, or labeling, these mental traps distort the truth and fuel anxiety, depression, and relapse. The problem? We often don’t even realize we’re doing it.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to believe every thought that enters your mind.

We’ll unpack the most common distortions, show how they affect behavior, and explore how faith and CBT together can help you replace lies with truth. When you start thinking differently, you begin living differently.
