Putting Thoughts on Trial Worksheet Overview
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is kind of like being in a courtroom. A distorted thought is on trial – but it has a really convincing lawyer defending it. He knows how to sway the jury using some shady techniques, like using facts or evidence that aren’t real – they’re really just opinions or interpretations. If you’d like to learn more about identifying cognitive distortions or telling facts and opinions apart, you can check out our worksheets.
This putting thoughts on trial worksheet includes examples as well as a blank sheet for you to use.
