Thought Log

Thought Log Worksheet 

A practical CBT thought log worksheet designed to help you identify, challenge, and reframe unhelpful thoughts that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Thought logs are one of the most effective cognitive behavioural therapy tools for recognising automatic negative thoughts and developing more balanced, realistic thinking patterns.

This worksheet helps you:

• Identify triggering situations
• Notice automatic thoughts and snap judgments
• Recognise emotional and physical reactions
• Challenge cognitive distortions and catastrophising
• Develop more balanced and helpful perspectives

Perfect for people struggling with anxiety, rumination, depression, overthinking, low self-esteem, or emotional reactivity, as well as clinicians looking for practical CBT worksheets and psychoeducation tools.
