eight cognitive distortionsways that one can process a situation that lead to high expectations of oneself and others, excessive worry about the future, feelings of inadequacy, and other unpleasantries that couldve been avoided by looking at the situation objectively. Thats where his concept of the wise advocate comes inby training oneself to first assess a situation objectively, one can distinguish between what is actually cause for worry and what is just a manifestation of anxieties. One of Dr. Schwartzs cognitive distortions is should statements developing unrealistic expectations as to what one can accomplish (I should be able to do this) and feeling let down when those expectations arent fulfilled. The wise advocate serves in this situation to realistically assess what one can actually accomplish, and to distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable expectations for oneself. Another cognitive distortion is all-or-nothing thinkingthe idea that one must be perfect at all times and one mistake will lead to disastrous consequences. The wise advocate serves here to break down this line of thinking altogetherto lead oneself to realize that we are all only human, that everybody makes mistakes and makes it out just fine.
