Anxiety Early Warning Signs CBT Worksheet

Early warning signs often appear before anxiety becomes overwhelming. Recognising these subtle changes can help you respond sooner, reduce the likelihood of anxiety escalating and strengthen long term anxiety management.

This evidence-based CBT worksheet helps you identify early changes in thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviours that signal anxiety may be increasing. It also explores situations that increase vulnerability and includes a reflection section to help identify patterns and signs that should be monitored more closely.

Whether you are working independently, alongside a therapist or supporting clients in therapy, this worksheet provides a practical and structured way to increase self awareness and support anxiety relapse prevention.
