Worksheet

Understanding your behavior


Behavior is a form of communication. It tells others when we feel stressed or have an unmet need.

This worksheet can help you better understand your behavior, identify your unique stressors, and find more
helpful ways to respond and ask for help.

Describe a situation where you felt upset or frustrated recently. What happened?

How did you react in that moment? (e.g., yelling, socially withdrawing, acting impulsively or in a risky way)

What emotions were you feeling at the time? (e.g., anger, confusion, hurt)

What do you think triggered your reaction? (e.g., stress, fighting with my friends, feeling misunderstood
by my parents)

Exploring what’s underneath the behavior

What happened before the situation (e.g., were you hungry, tired, or stressed?)

What were you trying to communicate with your behavior?


For example:
• I wanted attention or support.
• I felt overwhelmed or frustrated.
• I needed space to think about the situation or process my feelings.

Are there outside factors that influenced your behavior?


(e.g., academic pressure, conflict with friends or family)
