When distress happens, it feels like chaos, but it usually follows a predictable pattern. People who are unfamiliar with the pattern often don't realise what is gripping them until it's too late. By learning the distress cycle, you will learn to recognise the cycle as it unfolds, before you make a regrettable action.

In this worksheet, you'll be able to break down your own episodes of distress and gain insight into the specific triggers, thoughts, and behaviours that contribute to each stage. By understanding your unique distress cycle, you can develop personalised strategies to manage your actions, regulate your emotions, and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms.
