Questions
Is this a medical or therapy product?
No. It's a self-help journal using CBT-style techniques (the kind used in talking therapies) to help you notice and question anxious thoughts. It isn't therapy, diagnosis or treatment, and it's not a substitute for professional support if you need it.
Do I need to know anything about CBT already?
No. Every exercise is explained in plain language with an example of how to fill it in, so you can start straight away even if you've never heard the term 'cognitive behavioural therapy' before.
How is this delivered?
As a printable PDF you download instantly after purchase. Print as many copies of each page as you need, at home or at a print shop.
Can I use this alongside therapy or medication?
Yes, many people use journals like this alongside other support — it can be a useful way to track patterns between sessions or just for your own private reflection. If you're unsure, it's worth mentioning to your GP or therapist.
What if I miss days or don't fill in every page?
That's completely normal and fine. There's no streak to keep — use the pages that are useful to you, when they're useful, and skip the rest.
