CBT for Anxiety

86-page fillable PDF workbook, instant download Anxiety can show up as constant "what ifs", a body that rarely feels settled, or a list of places and situations you have slowly started to avoid. This workbook takes you through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety one step at a time, in the order a psychologist would usually work through it in sessions. It has 11 chapters and 38 worksheets. Each chapter explains one part of anxiety in everyday language, shows a worked example, then gives you worksheets to apply it to your own life. The exercises draw on CBT, with some skills from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). What this CBT for anxiety workbook covers The first chapters help you understand your own anxiety. You keep a worry log, learn why anxiety sticks around once it starts, and practise breathing, relaxation and grounding skills to settle your body. The middle chapters work with anxious thoughts. You use thought records to catch what goes through your mind, learn the most common anxious thinking styles, and practise balancing a thought and testing out a prediction. The later chapters cover worry and avoidance. You sort practical problems from "what ifs", set up a daily worry time, try small experiments with uncertainty, and build a step-by-step ladder for facing what you have been avoiding. The final chapter helps you put together a plan for staying well. Who this workbook is for Designed by a registered psychologist. This workbook is for adults who worry a lot, often feel on edge, or have started avoiding things because of anxiety, including worries about health, money, work, family and what other people think.
