Imagining worst-case scenario possible, whatever the event is, exaggeration goes to a point where one underestimates own capability to deal with the situation and overestimates the potential negative consequences of the event. Therapy can help one to breakthrough these negative thoughts and futuristic thinking.
What is Catastrophizing
Cognitive Distortion: What
is "Catastrophizing"
Here one expects the worst case
scenario possible. Whatever the
event is, there exaggeration goes
to a level where one
underestimates own capability to
cope with the situation and
overestimates the potential
negative consequences of the
event.
This irrational belief gets
developed when one ignores the
reality and lives in the possibility
of "what ifs".
Therapy can help you to breakthrough these
negative thoughts and futuristic thinking.
