This is a worksheet that I found online, and I thought that it may be a useful tool for some of you. Its really simple to follow, but I think it can really help to actually write things down on paper rather just keeping it all in your head. It allows you to go through your feelings, look at them rationally, and put them into perspective.
When you have a bad thought or memory -
Stop;
Take a breath;
Observe what the thought/memory is;
Pull back and it into perspective - what would others think?
Practice what works - for you and for others. Remember for the last 3 boxes it is very important to write down your responses!
