What is the theory behind this anxiety Thoughts worksheet?Â
Humans commonly experience anxiety in response to imagined danger. When it appears without any challenge or stress, when it lasts longer or is more severe than the challenge or stress, when it causes a great deal of distress, and when it impairs one’s ability to function in social, occupational, biological, or other ways, it is perceived as excessive. High levels of stress and anxiety are frequently fueled by irrational thoughts. These irrational beliefs are dealt with using CBT approaches.
