Catching your worries (worry diary 1)
This worksheet assists young people to record their worries in a simple way, including only two columns: “date” and “worries”. It is created for young people who may have limited insight into other aspects of their experience or limited writing abilities.
Self-monitoring is a crucial skill in CBT, enhancing patient awareness of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns and their connections. It also helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours (e.g. Cohen et al., 2013).
