Catch Your Thinking Errors

Name the pattern, shift the thought, feel the difference.

Module 1

Why Your Brain Lies

Thinking errors are normal, automatic - and fixable.

Your brain runs mental shortcuts. Some help; others distort reality and drag your mood down with them.

These distortions are called thinking errors. They're automatic, which means they don't ask for permission before showing up. A bad test result becomes proof you're a failure. A glance from a friend becomes evidence they hate you. One ruined detail makes the whole day feel ruined. None of that is reality - but it feels completely real.

That feeling-as-fact quality is exactly what makes thinking errors so good at fuelling anxiety, self-doubt, and rumination. You don't question them because they arrive already dressed as truth.

The first move is always the same: name it. The moment you can say "that's a thinking error" - not a fact about you - you create a gap between the thought and believing it. That gap is where this whole course lives.
