Negative judgments you make about other people

Clients with chronic resentment, social isolation driven by judging others harshly, family or workplace conflict, and clients whose depression has tipped into a generalised “people are awful” filter. The outcome column is the working part. It surfaces what the judgment actually costs the client (avoidance, lost relationships, ongoing anger), which usually outweighs whatever protective function the judgment was serving.

The form is a single repeating block, at least 3 rows, with 5 sub-fields per row.

A clinical note worth holding: the gap between the negative judgment and the more realistic response. Clients who can’t generate a more realistic response often have a deeper belief about people in general (“everyone is selfish,” “people always disappoint”) that needs to be addressed before this kind of restructuring can land.

In my-cbt, this lives in the system worksheet library. Assign it from the case file with a personal message at the top, in your voice. Each submission saves with a timestamp. The repeating sections expand on screen instead of running out of room in a margin.
