Challenging Intrusive Thoughts Worksheet

If you look at the instructions, you'll notice that they are simple enough to follow, but that doesn't mean there won't be any difficulty. This worksheet asks clients to examine their intrusive thoughts, which might be difficult! You best provide them with the time and space they need to finish it. Provide support and encouragement when you can.

That depends on whether you issued this during a therapy session or had your client take it home. If you issued this during a therapy session, you can agree on a time limit with your client but don't pressure them. If they need more time than your session allows, have them take it home and submit it during the next appointment.

Yes! By all means, go ahead if you think it will benefit you. However, don't use this as a substitute for therapy. If you feel like you need help from a therapist, please enroll yourself in a therapy program. That way, you will have an expert to help navigate you throughout your healing journey.
