A thought record is a tool used in CBT to help individuals track and analyze their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in response to specific situations. It allows individuals to identify patterns of negative thinking, such as cognitive distortions, and evaluate the evidence for and against their thoughts. By using a thought record, individuals can gain insight into their thinking patterns and work towards replacing harmful thoughts with more constructive and rational alternatives. This tool is commonly used in therapy to increase self-awareness and improve emotional regulation.
