Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) worksheet titled 'Contemplating Change.' It prompts the user to identify a change they are considering and then complete a four-quadrant organizer. The organizer is structured to explore the 'Benefits/Pros' and 'Costs/Cons' of both 'Making the Change' and 'Staying the Same.' It's designed to facilitate a thoughtful evaluation of potential life changes.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is most suitable for high school students (Grades 9-12) and adults. The concepts of cost-benefit analysis and self-reflection require a level of maturity and cognitive ability typically developed in later adolescence and adulthood.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps individuals to thoughtfully consider the potential consequences of making a change versus maintaining the status quo. It promotes self-awareness, critical thinking, and decision-making skills. It can be used to reduce impulsivity and improve the likelihood of making informed choices.
How to Use It:
First, the user should write down the specific change they are contemplating. Then, they should systematically fill in each quadrant of the organizer. For each quadrant (Making the Change - Benefits/Pros, Making the Change - Costs/Cons, Staying the Same - Benefits/Pros, Staying the Same - Costs/Cons), they should brainstorm and list relevant points. Finally, they can review the completed organizer to gain a clearer perspective on the potential change.
Target Users:
This worksheet is designed for individuals who are considering making a significant change in their lives and want to approach the decision in a structured and thoughtful way. It is also useful for therapists, counselors, and educators working with clients or students who are navigating life transitions or facing difficult choices.
