ABC Worksheet

As humans, our thinking impacts our perceptions, choices, feelings, and behaviors, among other things. So, it’s helpful to have a way to work with unhelpful or problematic ways of thinking.

An ABC Worksheet is a process from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that moves us through identifying and shifting an unhelpful or problematic way of thinking. (see Information Sheet on Unhelpful Thinking Patterns).

This worksheet resource includes:

• two completed ABC worksheet examples.
• a reusable, fillable ABC process worksheet to:
  • isolate and better understand the “activating event”,
  • identify the “belief” or thinking,
  • explore the “consequences” that result from the thinking,
  • examine how realistic or helpful the belief is,
  • choose a more helpful way of thinking going forward.
