Define three categories of automatic thoughts and provide an example of each.

On May 28, 2024


The three categories of automatic thoughts are negative, positive, and neutral.

1. Negative automatic thoughts: These are thoughts that are pessimistic, self-critical, and can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness. An example of a negative automatic thought is "I always mess things up" or "I'll never be good enough."

2. Positive automatic thoughts: These are thoughts that are optimistic, self-affirming, and can lead to feelings of confidence and happiness. An example of a positive automatic thought is "I can handle this challenge" or "I am capable and strong."

3. Neutral automatic thoughts: These are thoughts that are neither inherently positive nor negative, and may not have a strong emotional impact. An example of a neutral automatic thought is "I need to pick up some groceries on the way home" or "I have a meeting at 3 pm."
