This worksheet helps individuals recognize and address anxiety disorders, which are common among people with co-occurring disorders. Anxiety can manifest in various ways, including physical and emotional symptoms like restlessness, fear, and difficulty concentrating. This worksheet encourages reflection on personal experiences with anxiety, panic attacks, and avoidance behaviors. It also offers a self-assessment tool to determine anxiety levels, with a scoring system that helps identify mild, moderate, or severe anxiety. Treatment options for anxiety disorders vary, and working with a healthcare professional can help individuals find the right plan tailored to their specific needs.

Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this printable PDF worksheet gives clinicians a practical, session-ready tool. The conversational, encouraging tone makes clinical concepts accessible to clients at any stage of recovery, while structured prompts keep the work focused and productive.

How clinicians use it: as an in-session exercise to open and structure discussion, as between-session homework to reinforce skills, as a progress tool to track growth over time, and as part of a treatment unit paired with the companion lesson and PowerPoint on this topic. Formatted for easy printing and immediate use in individual or group settings.
