What is the theory behind this Understanding CBT Worksheet?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy proposes that many mental disturbances can be treated or managed by helping individuals become aware of their automatic negative thoughts, faulty interpretation of events and negative core beliefs that influence their maladaptive emotions and behaviours. It encourages a collaborative relationship between the client and therapist. Clients are also frequently assigned homework assignments to help them apply their learning to real life situations.

How to use the worksheet?
