"One of the special features of logic-based therapy (LBT), in contrast to other forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), is LBT's matching of " guiding virtues" to "cardinal fallacies." According to LBT, there are 11 groups of fallacies that are often embedded in the reasoning processes of emotions such as anxiety, depression, guilt, and anger. There, they tend to generate the negative interoceptive feelings and self-defeating behavioral dispositions associated with these emotions."
"Demanding Perfection: Insisting on unrealistic, law-like generalizations regarding the approval of others, control, certainty, orderliness, achievement, immediate gratification, treatment by others, and morality Catastrophizing: Exaggerating the severity of potential consequences Damnation: Devaluation of self, others, life, or the world based on a perceived flaw Can'tsipation: Disavowing the capacity to control one's emotions, behavior, will, or thoughts Bandwagon Reasoning: Mindless conformity to others"
Logic-based therapy matches specific guiding virtues to cardinal fallacies that underlie negative emotions. Eleven groups of fallacies commonly embed in the reasoning processes of anxiety, depression, guilt, and anger, generating negative interoceptive feelings and self-defeating behavioral dispositions. Fallacies include demanding perfection, catastrophizing, damnation, can'tsipation, bandwagon reasoning, World-Revolves-Around-Me thinking, dutiful worrying, objectifying others, and oversimplifying reality. Each guiding virtue has a core meaning, such as confronting fear despite uncertainty, and a personal philosophical meaning. A person can adopt a personal philosophy as a mantra and practice it cognitively and behaviorally to enact virtues and build positive emotions.
