Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.
Below are three columns which will allow you to break down your concerns. Start by separating out the facts from the feelings – be clear about the reality of the situation. Follow up with how you feel about your experience. Conclude with your thoughts and what you can do to move forward.
| Situation (who, what, where, why, how) | Feelings (how do I feel about what has happened/happening/ what will happen) | Thoughts (What do I need to do to help myself) |
