CBT Triangle for Depression Worksheets

Depression affects the way we think, feel and behave, often creating patterns that reinforce low mood and make recovery more difficult. Understanding how these patterns interact is an important first step in breaking the depressive cycle and building healthier coping strategies.

This evidence-based CBT resource explains the CBT Triangle and applies it specifically to depression. It includes psychoeducation about the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, a printable CBT Triangle worksheet, guidance on changing unhelpful patterns, a CBT for Depression information sheet and a My Depressive Cycle worksheet for applying the model to your own experiences.

Whether you are working independently, alongside a therapist or supporting clients in therapy, this resource provides a practical and structured way to understand the depressive cycle and apply CBT principles to everyday situations.
