Helpful & Unhelpful Thoughts Worksheet: Play Therapy Toolkit (Digital Download)

A play therapy version of the “Battle in Your Head” worksheet would use a more visual and interactive approach to make it engaging for children or young clients.

Visual and Creative Expression:
• Children can either write or draw their thoughts inside the head outline. They are encouraged to fill the “Helpful Thoughts” side with positive symbols like smiley faces, bright colors, or superheroes, while the “Unhelpful Thoughts” side can feature darker colors, frowns, or characters like monsters. This visual representation makes the abstract battle of thoughts more tangible and easier to discuss.

supports the development of emotional awareness, fosters creative problem-solving, and helps children externalize and work through their internal struggles in a safe, playful environment.
