Heal Play Love University- Why Do People Jump to Conclusions? Cognitive Distortions #jumpingtoconclusions
Jumping to conclusions. Why do people jump to conclusions? Why do they assume and make mountains out of molehills?
The cell phone rings and you are cheating. You forgot to pick up the dry cleaning and you're a bleepity-bleep who hates your family and can't do anything right.
What's up with the suspicious jumping to conclusions? (We aren't going to dive into the emotional abuse in this video.)
Actually, this has to do with some cognitive distortions, hyper-vigilance other nothing-to-do-with-you stuff that the jumper is experiencing. (But's it can be maddening, I know.)
We can't rationalize or speak logic or reality into someone who has been triggered. The best thing we can do is speak to their emotions. And hope that they will calm down and eventually see things from a less emotional state.
