Fact or Opinion

Facts are verifiable statements. They are supported by evidence and can be agreed upon. Opinions are personal interpretations of facts, which differ from person to person. For example, it is a fact that the sky is blue, and an opinion that the weather is beautiful. During cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), it is important to separate facts from opinions...

The Cognitive Triangle

The cognitive triangle illustrates how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect one another. This idea forms the basis of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Perhaps most important to CBT, when a person changes their thoughts, they will also change their emotions and behaviors. By targeting irrational or maladaptive thoughts, mood and behavior can be improved...

Worry Exploration Questions

When people worry, they tend to imagine the worst thing that could possibly happen. In reality, these worries may never come true. What could happen isn’t the same as what will happen. In the Worry Exploration Questions worksheet, clients are asked to consider their worry versus reality. Through a series of Socratic questions, they are encouraged to explore the most likely outcomes for their worried-about situation, rather than the worst imaginable outcomes....

Core Beliefs Info Sheet

Core beliefs are a person’s most central ideas about themselves, others, and the world. These beliefs act like a lens through which every situation and life experience is seen. In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), core beliefs are thought to underlie automatic thoughts. The Core Beliefs Info Sheet includes a simple definition of core beliefs, along with examples showing how they affect thoughts, behaviors, and feelings....

Core Beliefs: Examining the Evidence

When the evidence that underlies core beliefs is challenged, the core beliefs can be changed. However, this can be difficult, because not all evidence is treated equally. Information that supports a core belief is easily integrated, making the belief stronger. Information that does not support a belief tends to be ignored...

Cognitive Restructuring: Socratic Questions

The term cognitive restructuring refers to the process of challenging, and changing, irrational thoughts. Socratic questioning is one technique to encourage this process. Therapists use Socratic questioning verbally by asking probing questions about their clients' irrational thoughts. As clients improve their awareness of irrational thoughts, they can begin to consciously question their own thoughts...

Behavioral Experiment

Our thoughts and beliefs determine how we feel, and how we act, at any given moment. Even thoughts that are irrational, or lack evidence, impact our mood and behavior. A behavioral experiment is a CBT tool for testing our thoughts and beliefs, and replacing those that are irrational and harmful with healthy alternatives...

CBT: Example and Practice Sheet

Early in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), clients will learn the cognitive behavioral model, and begin recording their experiences in a thought log. For many, the jump between these two tasks is difficult. The Cognitive Model: Example & Practice worksheet was designed to bridge this gap. In this CBT worksheet, the model is illustrated alongside an example, with space for your client to record a real-life example of their own...

Thoughts & Behaviors: Costs and Benefits

A cost/benefit analysis is a classic technique for decision-making. In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this technique has been adapted for use in cognitive restructuring. Put more simply, a cost/benefit analysis can be used to challenge old, unhealthy patterns of thinking, allowing them to be replaced by new, more adaptive thoughts...

CBT for Kids: Thoughts, Feelings, & Actions

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for many mental and behavioral health issues. Research has shown that CBT can be effective for children as young as 7 years old, if the concepts are explained in a simple and relatable manner. Thoughts, Feelings, & Actions is a colorful and inviting 4-page CBT worksheet packet for children and adolescents...
