ABC Model for REBT

Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT)—a form of CBT—uses the ABC model to explain the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Because teaching the model is a key component of REBT, having an easy-to-understand diagram is an invaluable tool. If you regularly practice REBT, we suggest printing a copy of this worksheet for your wall. We...

Thought Log (blank)

There's probably no tool more central to CBT than the Thought Log. CBT therapists posit that you can reduce unwanted feelings and behaviors by challenging irrational thoughts, and the thought log is often the first step in this process. Thought logs are used by psychotherapy clients to become more aware of their irrational thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and the relationships between all three...

Daily Mood Chart

Use the Daily Mood Chart worksheet alongside CBT interventions to help clients practice recognizing the links between their environment, thoughts, and feelings. Every two hours your client will record the emotions they've experienced, and make note about what was happening during that time. Encourage them to rate the intensity of their feelings on a scale of 1-10...

Weekly Mood Chart

Mood tracking can be a powerful technique for clients who are having difficulty identifying the source of negative emotions. Patterns in moods might be difficult to detect during the hurry of day-to-day life, but they jump out from a completed mood chart. Ask your client to carry the Weekly Mood Chart with them for seven days between sessions, and jot down a few notes in each square...

Exposure Hierarchy

Exposure or fear hierarchies are a CBT tool for the treatment of avoidance-oriented anxiety in a wide range of disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Use the Exposure Hierarchy worksheet during exposure therapy to introduce your clients to feared stimuli in a gradual, stepwise fashion...

Introduction to Anxiety

Effective anxiety treatment starts with basic psychoeducation. As therapists, we understand that anxiety is a necessary emotion. It stops us from driving double the speed limit, or from skipping work every other day. We also know that too much anxiety can be debilitating due to avoidance of triggers and uncomfortable physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms...

Cognitive Distortions

Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts that influence our emotions. Everyone experiences cognitive distortions to some degree, but in their more extreme form they can be maladaptive and harmful. Use this CBT worksheet to help educate clients and help them recognize irrational thought patterns that might be causing harm...

Simple CBT Model

Teach your clients about the CBT model with this simple chart. We suggest using this worksheet as a piece of scratch paper while introducing clients to CBT. Write all over it, jot down some examples, or whatever else you need to do. By the end of a session our papers are usually full of arrows, diagrams and examples! Most importantly, allow your clients to take home a copy of the Simple CBT Model alongside a thought log so they have something to refresh their memory...
