Situation–Thought–Emotion Log Worksheet

Our thoughts and emotions are closely connected. The way we interpret a situation can influence how we feel, even when the situation itself has not changed. Tracking situations, thoughts and emotions together can help increase self awareness and identify thinking patterns that contribute to emotional distress.

This printable CBT resource includes a Situation Thought Emotion Log and a completed example to help you record situations, identify automatic thoughts, recognise emotional responses and rate the intensity of your emotions.
