Thought Diary

Thought Diary is a common cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) exercise.

It's a practical way to capture and examine your thoughts and feelings about a situation, and your evidence for them, using a set of 7 prompts.

Doing this can help you understand how linked our thoughts and behaviours can be, and how they influence each other.

Completing this process is a good way to recognise when thoughts and behaviours are unhelpful, and begin to challenge and reframe them in different ways.
