Worry humor tracker

As a companion to the worry-humor list, once the client has chosen a few techniques. The before/after scores often surprise both the client and the therapist, since paradoxical techniques can shift anxiety more sharply than serious ones.

The form has 5 fields. “Each humorous activity you tried” is a repeating block with at least 7 rows, each with 4 sub-fields (date/time, short-text, slider, slider).

A clinical note worth holding: the reflection at the end. Clients who report “I felt silly” usually mean it worked. Clients who report “nothing changed” sometimes weren’t really doing the absurd version, they were performing absurdity while still secretly believing the worry. Worth checking what they actually did.

In my-cbt, this is one of the bundled system templates. You preview, customise, and assign it from the case file in two clicks. Submissions save to the file with a timestamp. The repeating sections expand on screen instead of running out of room in a margin.
