Hopes vs. Fears

Below is an easy-to-use worksheet designed to help you process challenging thoughts and emotions around any topic that makes you feel stuck. Think of this as a way to start the conversation with yourself before trying to explain to your therapist or anyone else how you feel about it. Examples of topics could be the name of your oldest child, or a future conversation you are hesitant to have.

After using this worksheet, consider any new insights you’ve gained, and simply notice whatever thoughts and feelings come up as a result. Mixed emotions are not a bad thing, they are information-giving. If you prefer to talk with a therapist about this topic, feel free to reach out for a free 20-minute phone consultation here.
