Yes, my T has had me use the cognitive distortion sheet similar to the sticky post on this forum. I tend toward "all or nothing thinking", "overgeneralization", "jumping to conclusions (with both error patterns)", "magnification/minimization", "labeling/mislabeling", and "personalization".

We really focused on this for a couple of weeks in December. It seems to be habit now for me to identify and try to stop the patterns. Sometimes I'm not even aware I'm doing it (identification and stopping).
