What is the theory behind this Social Anxiety Therapy Worksheet?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is particularly useful for treating social anxiety. It empowers individuals to accept their distressing thoughts and emotions and learn to live with them so that they can continue to live a meaningful life. It can help individuals develop skills that can be used to take control of their negative thoughts and emotions instead of being controlled by them.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will help clients keep track of the defusion techniques they use in anxiety provoking situations. Cognitive Defusion techniques can help individuals detach themselves from distressing thoughts, emotions or images that are triggered by their social anxiety. This practice helps them break their influence and control.
How to use the worksheet?
Once the client has been guided about cognitive defusion techniques in session, this worksheet can be given to them to keep track of which techniques they utilise in which situations. Instruct them to use this record at the end of the day.
