An Example of Polarized Thinking
Manage episode 353225063 series 3390942
Polarized thinking, also known as black and white thinking is a thought pattern that makes people think in absolutes. It is all or nothing.
Life usually is lived in the grey areas. This raises the question why do people with Complex PTSD find themselves thinking in black and white? What are the problems that polarized thinking causes? and How can our relationships become more fulfilling if we stop this cognitive distortion that is often also called rigid thinking?
Listen as I share a personal example of polarized thinking and how I am working to overcome it.

This podcast is not meant to take the place of therapy, to diagnose or treat anyone. I have had therapy as recently as 2021 and found it very helpful. I am not a doctor. My only degree is in computers. I am simply sharing tools I have used to help myself grow to become an emotionally healthy person and sharing stories about my journey. Please seek medical help, as I did, if you are unable to cope with life and all that it brings.
