Checklist of cognitive distortions

  1. All-or-nothing thinking:  you look at things in absolute, black and white categories. 
  2. Overgeneralization: You view a negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat. 
  3. Mental Filter: You dwell on the negatives and ignore the positives. 
  4. Discounting the positives: You insist that your accomplishments or positive qualities “don’t count.” 
  5. Jumping to conclusions: A) Mind reading -- you assume that people are reacting negatively to you when there’s no definite evidence for this; B)Fortune Telling -- you arbitrarily predict things will turn out badly.
  6. Magnification or Minimization: You blow things way out of proportion or you shrink their importance inappropriately.
  7. Emotional Reasoning: You reason from how you feel: “I feel like an idiot, so I really must be one.” OR “I don’t feel like doing this, so I’ll put it off.” 
  8. Should Statements: You criticize yourself or other people with “Shoulds” or “Shouldn’ts.” “Musts,” “Oughts,” “Have tos” are similar offenders. 
  9. Labeling: You identify with your shortcomings. Instead of saying, “I made a mistake,” you tell yourself, “I’m a jerk,” or “a fool,” or “a loser.” 
  10. Personalization and Blame: You blame yourself for something you weren’t entirely responsible for, or you blame other people and overlook ways that your own attitudes and behavior might contribute to a problem.

  • Have you lost money to a crypto scam? Don’t panic—you’re not alone. I was in the same situation after investing in cryptocurrency in 2020, only to be scammed. My wife and I and our four kids in San Francisco, California, felt devastated.
    Luckily, I found BRUNOE QUICK HACK, and within just 72 hours, they recovered our stolen funds! I highly recommend their service if you’ve been scammed through crypto investments, Bitcoin, or fraudulent bank transfers. Contact them at BrunoeQuickhack(@)gmail.com, visit Brunoequickhack.COM, or reach out on WhatsApp: +1 (705) 784-2635.

  • I was so impatient to carry out some necessary research about crypto training and investing buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 65,000 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 240,000 GBP within a couple of weeks.
    But I didn’t realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and notice my account suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recover my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online research, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency funds with help of sentryvantagehack.site.
    So I file a report and they were able to help me get back all my lost funds within 24hrs. Am indebted to them, apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium to recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary option forex, investment and any other form of online scam, reach out via;

  • My husband and I have always been careful with our financial decisions. We researched, planned, and never took unnecessary risks at least, that’s what we thought. But sometimes, even the most cautious people can find themselves in difficult situations.

    Not long ago, we came across an opportunity that seemed promising. The numbers made sense, the platform looked professional, and everything appeared to be in order. At first, things went smoothly. We saw positive results, and our confidence grew. But over time, small concerns started to arise, delays, unanswered questions, and inconsistencies we couldn’t ignore. Before we knew it, we were locked out, with no clear path forward.

    The feeling was overwhelming. We had invested not just our money but also our trust, and now we were left with nothing but uncertainty. We explored every possible way to fix the situation on our own, but it became clear that we needed professional help.

    That’s when we found Digital Resolution Services. At first, we were skeptical after all, trusting someone new after what we had just been through wasn’t easy. But from the very first conversation, they reassured us. They had seen cases like ours before, and they knew exactly what to do. Step by step, they guided us through the process, kept us updated, and most importantly, delivered results.

    Looking back, we learned a valuable lesson. Even the most well-thought-out plans can go wrong, but what matters is how you respond. If we hadn’t reached out for help, we might have never recovered. Thanks to the right people, we were able to turn things around and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.

    Thanks to:DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES

  • WERE YOU SCAMMED THROUGH FAKE CRYPTO INVESTMENTS? I was lucky to come across Ghost Champion Cyber Security & Cryptocurrency Recovery Company, ghostchampionrecovery@cyberservices.com which was able to recover my stolen Bitcoin worth $804,000 after I was scammed by a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. I was very naive and was taken advantage of when I was contacted by a scammer who told me I could earn huge profits from my investment, I started with an initial investment of $2,500 and it went on and on until it was time to withdraw my profits and I discovered I have been scammed. I was depressed and hurt but I’m glad I came across Ghost Champion Cyber Recovery which was able to trace and recover my stolen Bitcoin.
