Cognitions play a vital role in the way a person experiences chronic pain. Cognitive distortions are negatively biased errors in thinking41 that increase vulnerability to emotional and behavioral responses. There are common cognitive distortions, or thinking errors, that influence how an individual responds to pain, including the following: mindreading, catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, emotional reasoning, labeling, mental filtering, overgeneralization, personalization, should statements, and minimizing.42–44 Pain catastrophizing is commonly presented due to the high correlation between catastrophizing and adjustment to pain.45

Emotional reasoning. You think something about yourself must be true because you strongly believe it. Example: I feel so depressed. I must be a really miserable person.
Individual resilience
Published in Tim Marsh, Louise Ward, Organised Wellbeing, 2018
There are many, many mistakes we can make and thousands of books and courses to reference, but to summarise a couple of main ones: We can all be prone to mind-read and assume the person meant something when actually they didn’t, and we’ve inferred meaning and/or intention that wasn’t there or underplayed the role of the environment so that we take something too personally. (A golden rule in mental health work is ‘don’t take it personally’.)We ‘reason emotionally’. People who are prone to emotional reasoning are the sort of people who consider that the proof that it’s true is that they feel strongly that it’s true. This is circular reasoning, and they may reframe, deny, distort and rationalise contradictory facts almost indefinitely. It’s very difficult to engage in productive dialogue with people with a ready supply of ‘alternative facts’ or who state ‘we’ve had enough of experts’.
Bioethics and the Moral Authority of Experience

There are a number of reasons to be more skeptical of claims made by interested parties than of those made by disinterested parties, all else being equal. Motivated reasoning occurs when one comes to endorse the most desired, rather than the best supported, view (Kunda 1990). Things are easier to believe when we want them to be true, and easier to disbelieve when we want them to be false. Like motivated reasoning, emotional reasoning arguably has the potential to undermine our deliberative abilities, since “emotions can cause self-deception because they can lead to powerful desires that something be or not be the case, which causally impact the subject’s ability to process evidence” (Scarantino and de Sousa 2018). This is not to say that emotion has no place in reasoning—it certainly does. It can ground evaluative judgments, direct attention by establishing patterns of salience, and anchor the ends at which instrumental reasoning aims (Scarantino and de Sousa 2018). But, as with sunlight, emotion may be either illuminating or blinding.

The first branch of the model relates to the perception of emotion. An example of skills at this level could include the ability to use vocal cues, facial expressions or behaviors to perceive emotion. The second branch relates to using emotion to facilitate thought. An example of skills in this branch could be the generation of emotions to enhance one’s ability to relate to another person’s experience. The third branch of this model relates to a deeper understanding of emotion. At this level, skills could include understanding how a given situation may affect the emotional state of another person in the future. The final branch relates to managing emotions. This includes the most complex skills pertaining to emotional reasoning. Skills in this category could include the effective management of one’s own, or even another person’s, emotions to achieve a specific outcome.
At Risk of What? Understanding Forensic Psychiatric Inpatient Aggression through a Violence Risk Scenario Planning Lens

The present findings provide initial data for clinicians to better anchor scenario planning using empirical evidence. While emotional reactions can be important in our perception of risk and risk scenarios (see Slovic & Peters, 2006), empirical evidence can help add an analytic approach to these reactions and avoid undue influence from affective heuristics (Slovic et al., 2002). Thus, while emotional reasoning can aid in developing initial scenarios, a logical and analytical approach—grounded in empirical evidence—will help remove implausible scenarios and focus resources on three to five high-priority scenarios (see Guy et al., 2015).
