Thought Record

CBT Thought Record Worksheet Overview

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps us understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all affect each other. Because they are all connected, we can change how we feel if we change how we think.

Use this worksheet to describe a difficult experience and what you thought, felt, and did. Then challenge your thought, write one that is more helpful or true, and explore how you would feel and what you would do as a result of your new interpretation.

This thought record worksheet includes examples to help you understand how to use it, and then a blank page to use for completing the excercise yourself.
