Thought Record
A Thought Record is a tool used to identify and analyze negative or distressing thoughts. It helps you become aware of automatic thoughts that impact your feelings and behaviors. By writing down a specific situation, the thoughts you had, the emotions you experienced, and evidence for or against those thoughts, you can gain a clearer understanding of your mental patterns. This process encourages more balanced thinking, promotes emotional regulation, and supports mental health by challenging unhelpful beliefs. It’s commonly used in therapy to help people develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies.
