The Fortune Teller

The Fortune Teller predicts negative outcomes without any real evidence. This kind of thinking often involves assuming the worst will happen or believing that bad events are inevitable, regardless of the actual situation or facts.

The
Personalizer

The Personalizer take things personally or to see themselves as the cause of external events that are not within their control. This distortion is particularly relevant in the context of negative self-talk, where a person may blame themselves for events that are not their fault or are beyond their influence.

The
Generalizer

Refers to a person who tends to make broad, generalized conclusions based on a single event or limited evidence. In the context of negative self-talk, this manifests as making sweeping negative judgments about oneself, one's abilities, or one's future based on minimal or isolated experiences.

The Catastrophizer

A voice that expects disaster to strike, no matter what. This is a form of exaggeratedly negative thinking where one assumes the worst possible outcome will occur in any given situation. It's a common issue where individuals can't see past the worst-case scenario.

The Labeler

The Labeler is a type of negative self-talk that involves assigning overly simplistic, negative labels to oneself or others, based on limited evidence or single events. This can lead to a distorted self-image and exacerbate feelings of low self-worth.
