Keeping a worry diary
This worksheet is designed to help practitioners enhance compliance with self-monitoring homework, specifically the completion of a worry diary. It aims to guide young people in understanding how to effectively complete a worry diary.
Self-monitoring in CBT increases patient awareness of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns and their links, as well as helping to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviour (e.g. Cohen et al, 2013).
