*Polorized-Black or White, no gray.
Alternate thought-think in percentages, no black or white judgements.

*Filtering-Focus only on the negative and ignore the positive.
Alternate thought-Shift focus

*Overgeneralization-Taking one thing/event and saying it happens ALL the time
Alternate thought-Quanitfy, consider the evidence, avoid absolutes

*Catastrophizing- Fearing the worst will happen
Alternate thought-Assess the odds.

*Magnifying-Making a mountain out of a molehill
Alternate thought-Get things into proportion

*Personalization-
1)Others are reacting to you
2)Comparing yourself to others
Alternate thought-Check it out, We all have strengths and weaknesses, comparison is meaningless

*Mindreading-You feel you know what others are thinking/feeling
Alternate thought-Check it out, generate alternate interpretations

*Shoulds-A Set of rules you or others must follow or you are disappointed
Alternate thought-My rules are flexible, values are personal

Im not sure if there are more. These are what I was given to practice with.
