THESE “MENTAL FAULTS” OR TWISTED THINKING OFTEN MANIFEST IN SELF-DEPRECIATION OR GUILT, CATASTROPHIZING SITUATIONS, TENDING TO IMAGINE THE WORST OR OVERESTIMATE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENING. FOR EXAMPLE, ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY MEMBERS, NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS, AND VETERANS MIGHT THINK, “COULD I HAVE DONE MORE,” OR “SURVIVOR’S GUILT.” DISTINGUISHING AND CHANGING THOSE NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS AND BEHAVIORS WREAKING HAVOC ON ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY, NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS, AND VETERANS WELL-BEING.” ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY MEMBERS, NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS, AND VETERANS WILL GET A MORE REALISTIC VIEW OF WHAT'S GOING ON” WHEN ENGAGED IN COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION.
