Deeper patterns and staying well
Some patterns are held in place by deeper beliefs about yourself, other people or the world, along with rules that once made sense but now carry a cost. This set helps you explore those patterns carefully and consolidate what supports change.
What is included
Three connected tools in one practical set.
Each topic includes a short, client-facing guide and a companion worksheet you can complete on screen or print.
Rules and assumptions
Identify demanding “if–then” rules or standards, consider what they protect you from and develop a more flexible alternative.
Maintaining gains
Record what has helped, recognise early signs of slipping back into an old cycle and decide what you will do when setbacks occur.
Using the worksheets
Use what helps; leave aside what does not fit.
These are general resources, not a test and not a course you have to complete in order. A worksheet can help you prepare for therapy, remember an idea or practise something between appointments.
- 01Approach deeper beliefs with curiosity rather than treating them as another problem to eliminate.
- 02Look for patterns across several situations before drawing a conclusion.
- 03Keep the helpful strategies that fit you and leave aside those that do not.
- 04Review your staying-well plan while things are relatively steady.
Free fillable PDF
Keep the complete deeper patterns and staying well set together.
The PDF contains the illustrated guides and matching fillable worksheets. Typed information remains in your own copy of the file and is not sent to or stored by Axis.
A general resource, not individual clinical advice
These worksheets do not replace assessment or personalised care. They may not suit every person, problem or stage of therapy. If a worksheet increases distress or feels unhelpful, pause and discuss that reaction with a suitably qualified health professional.
Taking the next step
Bring questions or reactions back to therapy.
A resource is most useful when it supports the work you are doing, rather than becoming another task to complete perfectly.
