Unhelpful Rules and Assumptions
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions helps clients identify unhelpful rules and assumptions that contribute to procrastination, such as needing control or fearing failure. It guides readers through a process of examining the origins and consequences of these beliefs to develop more balanced alternatives. The resource includes an example worksheet and notes that adjusting these deep-seated rules may require intensive work beyond simple behavioral strategies.
