Balanced Thought Record for Self-Doubt

Self-doubt can make it difficult to recognise strengths, trust your judgement and respond confidently in challenging situations. Examining self-doubt thoughts in a balanced way can reduce emotional distress and encourage more realistic, flexible thinking.

This evidence-based CBT worksheet helps you identify a self-doubt thought, examine the evidence that supports and challenges it and develop a more balanced response. It also encourages reflection on how this new perspective can influence future behaviour. A completed example is included to demonstrate how the worksheet can be used.
