How the CBT worksheets printable set helps with worry

Everything rests on four easy skills. Catch the worried thought, test it, take small courageous steps, then look back at what made a difference. A detailed thought record and a speedy two-minute version help you reach a more balanced view.

A daily worry window of 15 minutes keeps anxious thoughts from spreading into every hour. You also create a ladder of feared situations, a toolkit of calming ideas and a rough-day plan, then chart how you are doing over 12 weeks.

• Please treat these pages as self-help and a place to reflect. They do not provide therapy, a diagnosis, treatment or medical advice, and they cannot stand in for professional care. When anxiety becomes too much, reach out to a doctor or a mental health professional, and in a crisis, phone your local emergency number.
