Thinking Errors

100

This is when we act as if we think we know what is going on, but we don’t take the time to make sure. We use this to avoid the responsibility of checking things out with someone else.

Assuming 

200

This is when we make something seem less than it really was. There are some red flags that should alert us when we are minimizing. Those red flags are the words, “only” and “just.” For example, “I was only five minutes late.” If we convince ourselves that our hurtful or irresponsible behaviors are no big deal, then we won’t work on changing them.

Minimizing 

300

We use this thinking error to get attention, and to make other people feel sorry for us. We also use it to get other people to leave us alone instead of holding us accountable when we mess up. Sometimes we use this thinking error to get others to do things for us that we should be doing for ourselves.

Victim Stance 

400

This is not thinking ahead. This is not thinking about the consequences of our actions. We use this thinking error to avoid the responsibility of controlling our impulses

Distant Elephants

500

This is when we believe that everything will work out if we just want it enough. We use this thinking error to avoid the responsibility of working to correct our mistakes and taking the steps we need to make our lives the way we want them to be. An example of this type of thinking error is when a driver who speeds, says, “I’ll never get caught.” Or, a skier who is reckless says, “I’m too good to get hurt.” A person with sexual problems may say, “I’ll never get deviant urges again.” Magical thinking is wishful thinking, and it usually doesn’t work.
