Description

A foundational CBT worksheet that maps how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. The cognitive triangle gives clients a simple visual model for understanding why changing one corner of the triangle shifts the other two.

How and why to use this worksheet

Use this worksheet to walk clients through a recent situation, separating what they thought, felt, and did. It builds the core CBT skill of distinguishing thoughts from feelings and shows clients where they have leverage to change unhelpful patterns.
