What It Is:
This is a 'Distress Tolerance Handout 5' worksheet focusing on 'Pros and Cons.' It presents a grid to evaluate the pros and cons of acting on crisis urges versus resisting crisis urges. The grid has rows for 'Acting on crisis urges' and 'Resisting crisis urges,' with columns for 'Pros' and 'Cons.' It includes instructions to list the pros and cons of each action. It also includes instructions for what to do 'Before an overwhelming crisis urge hits' and 'When an overwhelming crisis urge hits,' such as reviewing the list and imagining consequences.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for high school and adult learners. The content requires abstract thinking and emotional regulation skills that are typically developed in adolescence and adulthood. It is designed to help individuals manage distress and make informed decisions during difficult times.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps individuals evaluate the potential consequences of their actions during a crisis. It promotes self-awareness, critical thinking, and decision-making skills. By weighing the pros and cons of different responses, individuals can make more informed choices that align with their long-term goals and values.
How to Use It:
First, read the instructions. Then, complete the grid by listing the pros and cons of acting on impulsive urges and resisting crisis urges. Be specific and consider the potential short-term and long-term consequences of each action. Before a crisis, carry the list and rehearse the pros and cons. When a crisis hits, review the list, imagine the consequences, and remember past experiences.
