It’s Not About Me Worksheet Overthinking & Personalization CBT Printable

When something feels off…
and your mind makes it about you.

A tone shift. A pause. A look.
And suddenly you’re questioning yourself.

Did I do something wrong?
Are they upset with me?
What did I miss?

This worksheet is designed for those moments—when your mind fills in the gaps and turns uncertainty into overthinking.
