Labeling Self-Help Worksheet

This document discusses the cognitive distortion of labeling and provides exercises to help reframe negative labeling. Labeling involves generalizing one or two qualities into an overly negative judgment about oneself or others. For example, calling yourself a "loser" for not doing well on a task or mislabeling a mother who uses daycare as "abandoning" her child. The exercises aim to reflect on a past situation where the person labeled themselves or someone else unhealthily and to identify what they now know challenges that label as well as how they could have challenged the negative labeling in the moment.
