But Burns provides this exercise and you take a bad thought, break it down, categorize it as a distortion, and write a better, non distorted version of the thought- and suddenly you’re like.. my brain is just withholding information from me. I’m not a failure ALL the time. I do fail at things sometimes, but I succeed too! Anyway the book is awesome and these distortions being labeled helped me so much
