Cognitive distortions article
I made some edits to your contribution to the Cognitive distortions article—the conceptualization section you added (diff). Your addition is fascinating and important (IMHO), so I don't want you to interpret my edits as criticism. ¶ See words to watch for info on not using language which comes across as biased, e.g., as if we (Wikipedia) are endorsing a particular theory. ¶ I put the names of cognitive distortions in quote marks to distinguish them from other words in the sentence as it was difficult to follow the meaning of the sentence otherwise. Another way to do this would be to add wikilinks to some, but not all, of the various cognitive distortion types. Feel free to ask me any questions or offer feedback for me. I hope you stay on as a regular contributor to Wikipedia. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 16:38, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I truly hope you will consider becoming a regular contributor. You exhibit an understanding of quality prose unusual for almost all editors, not just students. All the best - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 14:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
