Weekly Schedule for Behavioral Activation

Clients who are battling depression might find it challenging to complete the simplest of tasks due to a lack of motivation. Behavioral activation is one intervention that can help to combat this. During behavioral activation, clients will identify positive activities to replace their old negative behaviors...

Positive Activities for Behavioral Activation

The first step of behavioral activation is to identify several activities that are both easy and rewarding. These will serve as replacements for unhealthy behaviors that may have taken over during a depressive episode. It's important to be sure that their chosen activities rank highly in both of these categories (ease and reward) to increase the likelihood that clients will be successful...

Interactive therapy tools are unique and engaging resources to enhance your therapy practice. Each interactive tool is like a small app that you can use on your computer, phone, or tablet with the click of a button. Try games and illustrated stories for kids, or activities and audio for adults. There's something for just about everyone.

This list of activities will give your clients 48 ideas of healthy things to do with their time. These ideas can be helpful during behavior activation, for clients who needs to come up with new hobbies to fill the time they once spent using drugs, or for couples looking for something new and fun together to add a spark to their relationship...

The How I Feel worksheet is a CBT-inspired activity that will encourage children to learn more about their thoughts and feelings, and how to manage them. First, your client will describe their feelings, and consider the consequences of several actions they could take to deal with them. Finally, with your help, they will identify a new and healthy way to manage their emotions...

Automatic Thoughts

Teach clients to recognize and challenge their automatic thoughts with this CBT worksheet. Automatic thoughts are what they sound like: Thoughts that a person has automatically in response to a trigger, often outside of that person's conscious awareness. When associated with mental illness, these thoughts are often irrational and harmful...

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...
