• Why does someone treat a new boyfriend or girlfriend unfairly as if he or she is the same as the last one who hurt him or her?

• Most people – therapists included – are global thinkers, people who metaphorically “see the forest but not the trees.” Global thinking is highly correlated with depression as well as PTSD. It’s also a basis for giving bad therapeutic advice.

• What forms does global thinking take, and what can therapists do to address this cognitive style?

• In this workshop, we will consider the role of global thinking on diverse symptom presentations, do an exercise in building and teaching discrimination criteria, and highlight the importance of teaching concrete and specific skills in making distinctions that lead to improved decisions and, subsequently, better mental health.
