Catching self-critical thoughts

This thought diary encourages young people to recognise and record instances of negative self-talk.

There is also space to describe the situation in which these self critical thoughts arise, such as struggling with a task or facing a challenge.

Specifically designed to keep ink usage low without compromising on great design.

Great for sharing on computer screens, phones & tablets.
