COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS

The problematic parent's cognitive distortions (unhelpful thinking traps) cause significant psychological distress and confusion for the child, and the targeted parent/person. The child adopts this way of thinking which can lead to psychological disorders without intervention. These habitual types of thinking are often inaccurate and negatively biased.

This list details common cognitive distortions seen in children influenced by Parent-Child Trauma, Coerced Attachment and Alienation. Identifying these patterns is essential for understanding their effects and providing effective interventions to support the child's mental health.

Parental Alienating Behaviours

are Child Abuse & Family Violence.

This serious form of abuse and family violence can no longer be ignored. Parental alienating behaviours must be acknowledged in Australia as it is in other parts of the world. We need legislation that not only acknowledges its existence but firmly and clearly legislates against it.
