Module 4: Biased Expectations
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines biased expectations as negative predictions about future outcomes that arise when core beliefs are activated in at-risk situations. It outlines how these cognitive distortions lead to unhelpful behaviors such as avoidance or safety-seeking, and provides worksheets for tracking and challenging these thoughts.
