# Schema therapy - Cognitive Diary 

### Cognitive Diary for Schema Therapy

\- Event (what triggered my reaction?):

\- Feelings (how did I feel?):

\- Thoughts (what did I think?):

\- Behavior (what did I do?):

* * *

**Which schemas are involved in this situation?**

Keep the following schemas in mind:

\- Valid response (which part of my reaction was justified?)

\- What might have been the other person's contribution?

\- Overreaction (which responses were too strong?)

\- In what way did I exaggerate or misinterpret things?

\- Which schema intensified the situation?

* * *

**Desired reaction**

\- How can I view it in a better way?

\- What can I do to resolve the problem more effectively?
