COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS CARD DECK
A cognitive behavioral therapy card deck that helps clients catch unhelpful thinking patterns as they happen, question the evidence behind them, and build a workable reframe — one card at a time.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
Sectioned learning:
32 cards covering the classic cognitive distortions — All-Or-Nothing Thinking, Catastrophising, Mind Reading, Fortune Telling, Emotional Reasoning, Should Statements, Personalisation, Mental Filter — through to broader cognitive biases including Confirmation Bias, Sunk Cost Fallacy, Spotlight Effect, Hindsight Bias, and Imposter Syndrome Thinking.
Interactive pages:
Each card front names and defines the distortion in plain language; the back walks through Sounds Like (a relatable example), Evidence Check, Reframe It, and three Reframing Techniques.
Named favourites:
All-Or-Nothing Thinking
Should Statements
Confirmation Bias
The Sunk Cost Fallacy

Therapist tools:
A structured four-step process on every card (identify, question, reframe, apply a technique), making the deck usable as a stand-alone intervention or alongside CBT thought records.
PERFECT FOR:
Therapists, counsellors, coaches, and self-helpers wanting a concrete, repeatable way to work with cognitive distortions in session, in groups, or independently.

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE:
A clearer name for the thought, a simple question to test it, and a specific technique to try next — so the pattern gets easier to interrupt each time it shows up.
