This worksheet titled Understanding Gambling Addictions is designed to help individuals struggling with gambling addictions reflect on their past gambling behaviors, identify signs of problem gambling, and implement strategies for recovery. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the impact of gambling on financial, emotional, and relational aspects of life, and encourages individuals to seek help, surround themselves with supportive people, and find positive alternatives to gambling. Through personal reflection and practical steps, the worksheet offers tools to manage gambling issues and protect long-term recovery.
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.
