Socratic Questions for Anxiety: 

Write or think of the thought to be questioned. Then break it down following the questions below: 

1. What is the evidence for this thought? Against it?
2. Am I basing this thought facts, or on feelings?
3. Is this thought black and white, when really it is more complicated?
4. Could I be misinterpreting the evidence? Am I making any assumptions? 
5. Might other people have different interpretations of this same situation? What are they? 
6. Am I looking at all the evidence or what just supports my thought?
7. Could my thought be an exaggeration of what’s true?
8. Am I having this thought out of habit, or do the facts support it?
9. Did someone pass this thought/belief to me? If so, are they a reliable source? 
10. Is my thought a likely scenario or is it the worst case scenario?
