I have created this “worksheet” of sorts to to help people identify where they might have room for growth in therapy. We all have areas for growth, we all have areas of strength. Consider these questions to guide you in your journey (with a therapist or without)!
In what areas are making emotionally based choices?
Consider the following areas. Do you tend to give into short term impulses in any specific areas?
- Food/eating _____________________________________________________________
- Time management (working/playing) ________________________________________
- Anger impulses __________________________________________________________
- Social Anxiety ___________________________________________________________
- Fears ___________________________________________________________________
- Sleep schedule____________________________________________________________
- Self-harming behaviors_____________________________________________________
- Substance abuse __________________________________________________________
- Emotional urges __________________________________________________________
- Trying to “fit in” _________________________________________________________
Are you able to identify any areas that you do well in exercising restraint against urges and making more mindful choices?
