These Cognitive Distortions Worksheets are designed to help you understand intrusive thoughts, overthinking, and the unhelpful thinking patterns that can contribute to anxiety and emotional distress. Combining accessible psychoeducation, guided reflection, and practical coping skills, this 3-page, therapist-made printable set helps you recognise distorted thinking and develop more balanced ways of responding to your thoughts.
Cognitive distortions are common thinking patterns that can make situations seem more negative, threatening, or overwhelming than they really are. When these patterns become automatic, they can fuel rumination, negative thoughts, anxiety, and difficulty calming down. These therapy worksheets provide a structured way to identify those patterns and begin looking at thoughts from a different perspective.
Following a simple Learn โ Reflect โ Take Action approach, the worksheets move from understanding cognitive distortions, to recognising your own thinking patterns, to practising strategies for questioning and reframing unhelpful thoughts.
