Activities to counter your stress

Clients who say they “already know” what helps but don’t do it. The point of the worksheet isn’t education, it’s the three-week tracking. The pattern of which categories they actually engage with versus skip tells you more than the initial planning.

The form has 3 fields. “Stress-reducing activities you’ll commit to” is a repeating block with at least 5 rows, each with 4 sub-fields (short-text, dropdown, short-text, slider).

A clinical note worth holding: clients who pick six items in one category and zero in others. That imbalance is usually meaningful. Workaholics skip self-care, lonely clients skip social activities, depressed clients skip creative and fun.

In my-cbt, this is a bundled worksheet you can preview from the library and assign from the case file. The personal message at the top is how you tailor it to this client. Each submission saves to the file with a timestamp. The repeating sections expand on screen instead of running out of room in a margin.
