Some awesome CBT worksheets and resources

Thanks to therapyworksheets I?m linking to some of the worksheets I like from this blogsite.
First up is Lynn Martin?s CBT worksheet page. Lynn has a whole raft of professional qualifications, but her original training is as a registered nurse. Her site also contains a couple of concise summaries on CBT, and links to resources. To use her worksheets you?ll need to cut and paste (and then probably reformat) into another document ? but that?s hardly difficult is it?
The next is from Specialty Behavioral Health, which has a lot of pdf documents on various mental health problems ? including some helpful ones you could use if you were setting up a new practice, such as an intake form, consent form, privacy notices and so on; plus a range of specific CBT forms such as the Daily Mood and Thought Record,
and one that I think I probably need: Common procrastination profiles. I notice that these have been based around student issues such as writing a dissertation, breaking up with a boyfriend and so on, but they could be easily adapted.
Some lovely ?personal growth? worksheets are available from Intuitive Life Coach. Some of these are very simple indeed ? but because they?re well designed, they?re easy to use. One example is the LifeScape Worksheet which is described as "a tool to help you create a certain scenario or experience in your life. The point of this exercise is to draw a specific 'picture' of the scenario using descriptive phrases that capture the essence of the experience?the feeling of the scenario as if you were experiencing it right now."
Psychology Tools is a "central repository for materials useful to psychologists and other mental health professionals. The aim of the site is to provide free downloads of copyright-free materials, and also links to copyright materials." You can submit your own materials if they?re copyright-free (creative commons) ? I haven?t done so yet, but will do. Nothing here on pain management, but several resources on various disorders and even one on self esteem. I liked the link to the Wellbeing Wizard - all about wellbeing(!), some nice information on Systems (such as how to draw a genogram), and I was impressed with the resources on mindfulness.
The last one for today is called Living CBT, which is a division of the Manchester Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Limited. The Centre provides training and consultancy services across the UK at CBT-Centre UK. They have some simple pdf and word document resources including a pain diary, activity diary, and a great set of helpful self statements that are worthwhile copying and plastering all over your own workplace, not to mention for patients!
