Anxiety Spiral Worksheet: Understanding Anxious Thoughts & Resources

This worksheet highlights the concept of the anxiety spiral, a term that describes a cycle of escalating anxiety where initial feelings of anxiety lead to thoughts and behaviors that further exacerbate those feelings. This cycle can make it difficult to break free from anxiety and can lead to increased distress and avoidance behaviors, and the worksheet aims at identifying the stages of the cycle and some meaningful ways to break free from the spiral of anxiety.
