I thought maybe we could share here examples of positive and effective tools our therapists have armed us with which we are finding useful.

For example, I have regular homework from my therapist including:

She has asked me to make a 'hope bag" containing items that evoke all 5 senses as soothing mechanisms.

I complete an Activity Pleasure Prediction Worksheet
a Behavioral Chain Analysis
a Catstrophic Thinking Worksheet

These are all on the internet or PM me

I'd be interested to know what sorts of tools the rest of you use to cope with anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts
