Can you trust your own judgement? In everyday life, we make lots of decisions and judgements and most of the time we assume that decision-making is a conscious process. But this is not always the case. This talk deals with the subject of cognitive distortions, the shortcuts that the brain takes to make decisions quickly and efficiently, focusing on distorted perceptions and judgments in everyday life, but also on distorted cognitions, which are considered a mechanism for the perpetuation of mental illness. A consideration of the basic heuristics will be followed by a discussion about proposed solutions and tips to avoid these cognitive traps.
