Catastrophizing Help students to challenge negative
thoughts Become Detectives:
What is the evidence that this thought is true? Am I confusing a possibility with a probability?
How likely is it to happen?
Thinking Traps

What’s the best that could happen?
What is one thing I can do to help the best thing happen?
What’s the most likely thing to happen?
