Ever feel like your mind is playing tricks on you? Like one small parenting mistake suddenly turns into a catastrophic event in your head? Welcome to the world of cognitive distortions-those sneaky mental habits that twist reality into something far more complicated than it needs to be.

In this witty, insightful, and relatable guide, one mom shares her journey through the tangled maze of cognitive distortions, offering readers a fresh perspective on how to navigate the daily chaos of life with humor, clarity, and a touch of self-compassion.

What You'll Discover Inside:

  • A Lighthearted Look at Cognitive Distortions - Explore 15 common cognitive distortions like "Polarized Thinking," "Overgeneralization," and "Catastrophizing," each illustrated with humorous anecdotes from the author's life as a mom, freelancer, and partner in a chaotic yet loving household.
  • Relatable Family Scenarios - Dive into stories that bring these mental traps to life, whether it's interpreting a silent dinner as a family meltdown or seeing a minor setback as the end of the world. You'll laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe even see a bit of your own life reflected in these tales.
  • Playful and Practical Insights - Learn to identify and challenge these distortions with practical tips, all delivered with a playful tone. Discover how to turn "should" statements into preferences, find balance in "all-or-nothing" thinking, and even laugh at the quirks that make family life unpredictable.
  • Humor as a Healing Tool - Humor runs wild through these pages, offering a fresh lens to view everyday struggles. You'll find that sometimes the best way to manage overthinking is to give it a light-hearted twist-because when you can laugh at your thoughts, they lose their grip.
  • Heartfelt Reflections on Parenting and Personal Growth - Beyond the laughs, this book delves into the deeper reflections of parenting and personal growth. It's a reminder that being a mom is not about being perfect, but about embracing the messiness of life with an open heart.
  • Max the Dog's Wisdom - Meet Max, the family's sock-stealing dog, who offers his own lessons in mindfulness and acceptance. Through his antics, you'll see how living in the moment can sometimes be the best antidote to a mind running wild.
  • A Roadmap to Clearer, Kinder Thinking - Equipped with psychological insights and practical strategies, this guide helps you untangle the mental knots that distort your thinking. It encourages a kinder way of relating to yourself and others, making room for joy and calm amidst the chaos.
  • A Journey Towards Balance - This is not just a self-help book; it's a journey of self-discovery, filled with real-life experiences that show you how to navigate the cognitive distortions that impact us all. It's about finding balance, accepting imperfections, and learning to live with a little less mental clutter.

"When Thoughts Run Wild" is your companion to a more mindful, humorous, and balanced approach to life's twists and turns. Whether you're a parent, partner, or simply a person trying to make sense of your thoughts, this book offers a refreshing take on how to find clarity in the mental whirlwind.
