OCD Worksheet: Map Your Cycle

With this resource, you'll learn how to:

  • Externalize and organize your experiences clearly

  • Understand cycle awareness in an accessible way

  • Normalize your OCD patterns through gentle self-reflection

This worksheet is designed to support your work with clients experiencing OCD. It provides four simple, structured prompts to help individuals map their triggers, intrusive thoughts, anxiety intensity, and responses. By externalizing these patterns on paper, clients often gain clarity and relief, creating a foundation for deeper therapeutic work.

Use it as an introductory exercise when helping clients recognize and name their OCD cycle. It can serve as a gentle starting point for building awareness, opening discussion, and tracking progress over time.
