Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Tracker

Image
  Free Printable OCD Tracker I created this page, as recommended by my therapist, to help me track any of my intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and compulsions throughout the day. I found it uncomfortable to write down some of my intrusive thoughts, so in those instances I would abbreviate them to something more tolerable (For example: Instead of writing "What if I put my baby in the freezer", I would write "harm OCD", etc.). As I work on my OCD tendencies over time, I hope I will feel less guilty writing down my intrusive thoughts! I'm learning that thoughts do not equal intent.  Doing this has helped me to be more aware of my obsessions and how time-consuming they are. Recognizing thought patterns is the first step!

Mood Log

Free Printable Mood Log Here is a log that I made to help me understand my thoughts and emotions better. When I start to notice I am feeling uncomfortable, I will fill out this log and practice challenging any negative thoughts. -- Sometimes I will bring in a filled-out form and bring it into my next therapy session so we can talk about it.   You can find the rest of the mood log in my Etsy shop here !

The way side, stony places, thorns, and good ground. Here is a handout I made for the kids to take home and put in their scriptures! I cut them out and laminated them. I also put a mustard seed in a mini baggy, and taped them onto the back. My membership of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-Day Saints is a treasure Teach the parables in Matthew 13: 44-46: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto  treasure  hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one  pearl  of great price, went and sold  all  that he ha

  March 13 - 19  ♡   Matthew 11-12 & Luke 11 " I W i ll   Gi v e Y o u   R e s t " Heavenly Father Gives Us good gifts Use an object lesson to explain the Savior's teachings in Luke 11: 11-13 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? What are some good gifts God has given us? Here are some eggs that I printed out and laminated. The children can help put these inside the egg carton for the object lesson! Some of the eggs have ideas of "good gifts" that Heavenly Father blesses us with, while others are blank for you to write on or for the kids to think of one on their own! The scorpion I got from The Red Crystal ! I can keep the sabbath day holy Show a

  February 27 - March 5  ♡   Matthew 8; Mark 2 - 4 & Luke 7 " T h y F a i t h   H a t h  S a v e d T h e e " When I am afraid or in danger, Jesus can help me feel peace Can you think of a time when you were scared? Did you know Jesus can help us not be afraid? He can give us peace Read the story in Mark 4: 35-41 “[Jesus and his apostles were in a ship]… and there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” If you were on the ship, would you have felt scared? How did J
