Have you had an argument with your spouse or significant other that impacted your whole day? Maybe you had thoughts like, “I’m such a jerk,” or, “All we do is fight.” Have you ever been stuck in traffic thanks to an accident? Maybe you said to yourself, “I knew I shouldn’t have gone this way,” or “This always happens to me.” Statements like these are common reactions to scenarios in our lives, but they are inaccurate and distort how we see ourselves and the world around us. This session will examine the 10 cognitive distortions and how they impact our mood and create faulty beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Join Learning and Organizational Development for a session where we will examine these distortions and identify ways to challenge negative thoughts and limit their impact on our lives.

This workshop is part of L&OD's LEAD Events, an initiative that provides employees with opportunities to learn or refresh skills that can help them grow their careers. LEAD Events are a component of L&OD's Leadership Education and Development, or LEAD, program.
