Description

A CBT worksheet for surfacing the core beliefs that drive automatic thoughts and emotional patterns. Clients trace recurring thoughts down to their roots, examine the evidence, and begin building more balanced alternative beliefs.

How and why to use this worksheet

Use this worksheet after clients are comfortable with thought records. By examining the evidence for and against a core belief and constructing a balanced alternative, clients weaken long-standing negative beliefs about themselves, others, and the world.
