What is a CBT thought record?

A thought record is a structured worksheet from cognitive behavioural therapy. It walks you through a situation, the automatic thought it triggered, the related emotions, supporting and contradicting evidence, and a more balanced alternative thought.

Does reframing thoughts really help anxiety?

Yes — decades of research show that learning to identify cognitive distortions and write balanced alternatives reduces anxiety, low mood, and rumination. It works best with regular practice over weeks.

What are common cognitive distortions?

The most common are all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophising, mind-reading, personalisation, emotional reasoning, and ‘should’ statements. Spotting which one is at play makes reframing much easier.
