Feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts? At EmpowersYou Counseling, we teach a simple CBT thought-record that helps teens and women spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with balanced, calmer ideas. Step 1: Notice the triggering situation. Step 2: Write the automatic thought. Step 3: Rate the emotion (0–100). Step 4: Look for evidence for and against the thought. Step 5: Create a balanced alternative and re-rate your emotion.

Client vignette: A teen shared she felt ‘‘everyone is judging me’’ before a presentation. Using the thought-record she found evidence that classmates had been supportive, created a balanced thought—“Some people may notice me, but I can handle it”—and her anxiety dropped from 80 to 40. Over a few weeks she felt more confident speaking up.

We offer online sessions across Poulsbo, Seattle, Redmond, Spokane, and Everett, WA, and accept many insurance plans. If you’re ready to try a practical tool that reduces anxiety and builds confidence, visit https://wix.to/8bNP5lV to learn more or book an appointment.
