Thought Records

Thought records are tools used by cognitive behavioral therapists to help their clients capture, evaluate, and restructure their negative automatic thoughts. Recording and evaluating our thoughts allows us to test the accuracy of our thinking, and oftentimes feel better by identifying and correcting bias or inaccuracies. One objective when using thought records in CBT is to help clients to think in more balanced ways. Psychology Tools has created a variety of thought records for different purposes.
