What is the theory behind what pushes your buttons worksheet?
The idea behind these worksheets is that by being more conscious of our emotional triggers, we may improve our ability to control them and make more deliberate decisions about how we respond to them. This can enhance our general emotional health by lowering unpleasant emotions like anger or worry. Some worksheets might be based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, which emphasize recognizing and altering harmful thought and behaviour patterns.
