Are Your Worries Realistic?

Anticipating Success

Recognizing the importance of our unconscious wishes and needs, this worksheet asks people to concentrate on how things will be in the future where their problems have less influence or may be absent altogether. Concentrating on the positive aspects of your life, rather than on your problems, directs your unconscious to make decisions that will be more productive and beneficial. The concept of a “self-fulfilling prophecy” is a very real psychological phenomenon. You can make your future better or worse – why not make it better? (positive psychology, solution-oriented therapy, depression, 0718)

Using Visual Metaphors to Accept Your Worries and Distressing Thoughts

This worksheet is designed to help people accept their worries and other distressing thoughts.

This worksheet teaches people how to use visual metaphors to accomplish this. Four visual metaphors include: Don’t Struggle in Quicksand, Ignore Annoying Passengers in Your Car, Watching the Worry Train, and Clouds Floating By. (GAD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, 0818)
