Getting used to surprises and new things
This worksheet is designed with the purpose of assisting clinicians exploring intolerance of uncertainty (IU) with children.
Research suggests that IU is a cognitive vulnerability factor for worry in the adult population (Buhr & Dugas, 2006; Koerner & Dugas, 2008) and emerging research suggests that the model may be useful within the child and adolescent population (Watts et al 2021; Laugeson et al., 2003; Dugas et al., 2012).
