breathing

breathe

Three ways to talk your nervous system down in under two minutes: box breathing, the long exhale, and the double sigh.

meditation

sit

Five minutes, no cushion, no clearing your mind. Including what to do when your mind wanders — which it will, and which is the point.

cbt workbook

the spiral

The long one. Catch the thought that's running you, name its shape, test it against the evidence, and write down a truer one.

cbt workbook

new job nerves

For the week before you start, or the first week in. What exactly are you afraid of, how likely is it, and what would a fine first week look like?

cbt workbook

after a breakup

For the part where your brain won't stop going over it. Separating fact from story, and working out what you actually miss.

Every guide comes two ways. Open gives you the pretty version to read on screen. Printer friendly gives you the same workbook in plain black and white with proper lines to write on — kind to your ink, and it saves to PDF cleanly. There’s a toggle inside each one, so you can switch whenever you like.
These are worksheets, not therapy. They use ordinary CBT ideas — notice a thought, test it against the evidence, write a steadier one. They are not a substitute for a doctor or a therapist, and they aren’t a substitute for a session with me either. If a page opens up more than you expected, that’s worth bringing to a person.
