197 Catastrophizing

from Truth Untangled · host Bob Anders, Ph.D.

Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion that prompts people to jump to the worst possible conclusion, usually with very limited information or objective reasons to despair. It is a common behavior that affects many people during times of stress. Catastrophizing means that a person fixates on the worst possible outcome and treats it as likely, even when it is not.
