Fact or Opinion Worksheet Overview
Anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and other conditions can change how we think.
These conditions tend to make our thoughts less helpful or less true – thoughts like, “There’s no way I can handle this, ” “No one cares about me, ” or “I’m just not good enough.”
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps us push back against these distorted thoughts by examining the facts (evidence) supporting or refuting a thought.
Here’s some of what’s included in this fact or opinion worksheet:
- What counts as a fact?
- What doesn’t count as a fact?
- Facts vs opinions quiz
