Weekly CBT Journalling Exercise for Therapy Progress

Printable weekly CBT journalling exercise with prompts for progress, techniques used, learning points, next steps and personal values.

Keep CBT skills active between sessions with a printable weekly journal that helps adults review what they practised, what worked, and what to focus on next. The prompts are especially suited to people finishing cognitive behavioural therapy, relapse prevention work, or self-guided CBT practice who want a simple progress tracker for coping skills and emotional resilience.

Weekly reflection turns CBT homework into a clearer picture of progress, and this two-page exercise gives a straightforward structure for doing that. It asks the user to look back over the last seven days and note what they have done to maintain gains from therapy sessions.

The journal then focuses on specific CBT techniques used to improve coping behaviours and emotional resilience. People can record skills such as thought records, behavioural activation, exposure practice, problem-solving, breathing strategies or other tools they have agreed with their therapist.

A simple rating section asks how important the situations were and how rewarding it felt to apply what had been learnt. These prompts are useful for spotting which real-life moments felt meaningful, which skills were easier to use, and where confidence may still need building.

The later questions ask what the person learnt, which CBT approaches they need to revisit, what they plan to do next week, and how that links with personal values and goals. It is likely to be most useful for adults, older teenagers, CBT clients in aftercare, and therapists who want a concise printable therapy journal, CBT reflection sheet or weekly progress review to use at home or in sessions.
