This Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) worksheet is designed for D’Wana Mitchell to help address her Social Anxiety Disorder, particularly her fear of failure. The primary aim is to encourage constructive thought patterns and behaviors that can aid in overcoming anxiety-inducing situations.
Take a moment to reflect on situations where you experience fear of failure. Fill in the table below with the specific triggers that cause these feelings.
| Trigger/Situation | Thoughts About Failure | Feelings |
|---|---|---|
| Example: Speaking in public | "I'll embarrass myself." | Anxiety, dread |
For each negative thought you listed, write a counter-statement that challenges the validity of that thought.
| Negative Thought | Counter-Statement |
|---|---|
| "I'll embarrass myself." | "I have spoken in public before, and it went well." |
Think about an upcoming social situation that makes you anxious. Write down a specific goal to achieve in that situation, no matter how small.
How will you prepare for this situation to manage your anxiety? Write down actionable steps you can take.
| Action Step | Timeline |

| 2. Visualize a successful outcome | Twice a week |
| 3. Role-play with a friend | One week before the event |
