REWIRED: The Teen Anxiety Guide & Workbook: Triggers and Maintaining Cycles

How avoidance and reinforcement can maintain distress

This resource discusses REWIRED: The Teen Anxiety Guide & Workbook conservatively and without diagnosing the reader.

Triggers and Maintaining Cycles

Track situations, thoughts, body sensations, actions, and short- versus long-term consequences without treating the worksheet as a diagnosis.

Questions to Consider

  • How long has the pattern been present?
  • What situations increase or reduce it?
  • What activities are being avoided?
  • What support has been tried, and what happened?
  • Is safety or daily functioning affected?

Common Misconceptions

Distress is not a character flaw, and one symptom does not establish a diagnosis. Improvement is not always linear.
