📝 Feelings VS Facts By Venus House
When something upsetting happens, our emotions can quickly create a story about what it means, what someone else is thinking, or what will happen next. Sometimes that story is accurate. Sometimes it’s not. And sometimes we simply don’t have enough information yet.
Check the Facts is a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skill that helps you slow down, separate what you know from what you’re interpreting & decide how you want to respond.
This 7-page guided workbook walks you through the process of checking the facts: from identifying what actually happened to examining your assumptions, considering alternative explanations, and deciding whether your emotional response fits the situation.
The goal isn’t to convince yourself that your feelings are wrong or to tell yourself that everything is fine. It’s about making space for both what you feel and what the facts tell you.
Inside the workbook, you’ll explore:
What you could be assuming, predicting, or telling yourself about a situation
What emotions and urges are coming up
Evidence that supports, and doesn’t support, your interpretation
Alternative explanations and missing information
Whether the intensity of your emotion fits the facts
What response is most likely to be effective and helpful
📖 This workbook is a practical tool you can use on your own or with your therapist when you need help slowing down and taking a more objective look at what’s happening.
