Problem-Solving, Coping & Relapse-Prevention Lesson 10 of 10
Review your logs for three wins and one recurring obstacle. Choose one practical adjustment, update your plans, and acknowledge the effort you made.
Goal: Block a 15-minute WRR every Sunday evening (or last workday) for the next 8 weeks.
Supplies: All worksheets or apps you’ve used (e.g., mood logs, activity schedules), a pen/highlighter, and your calendar.
Collect the Logs: Grab anything you used this week: mood graphs (SM2), activity schedules (BA1), positive data logs (CR8), SMART goal sheets, exposure ladders, etc.
Pro-tip: One glance beats memory guesses.
Spot 3 Highs & 1 Low: Circle your 3 biggest wins (e.g., a Mastery-Pleasure score ≥ 12, a 50%+ drop in SUDS, a SMART goal milestone hit). Then jot down one recurring snag (e.g., missed workouts).
Pro-tip: Start with highs. Positivity fuels motivation.
Run the “Why?” Drill: For each win or snag, ask: “Why did this happen?” Trace from trigger → behavior → outcome.
Example: Missed workouts → snoozed alarm → gym bag not pre-packed.
Pro-tip: Turns data into leverage for change.
Choose One Tweak: Pick one concrete adjustment you can prep in ≤ 10 minutes.
Example: “Pack gym bag & place it by the door nightly.”
Pro-tip: One tweak avoids overwhelm and keeps momentum.
Update Schedule & Goals: Add your tweak to next week’s Activity Schedule. Adjust SMART goal timelines or move up one exposure rung if ready.
Pro-tip: Pencil in the first step within 24 hours.
Rate the Week: Mood, anxiety, and productivity 0–10. Add a one-word summary: “better,” “same,” or “worse” than last week.
Example: Mood 7, anxiety 4, better.
Pro-tip: Trends matter more than a single snapshot.
Self-Reward: Give yourself a small reward for completing the review. Like a latte, 15-minute hobby, or a fun video.
Example: Watch 1 sitcom episode.
Pro-tip: Positive reinforcement builds habit strength.

CBT works best when it’s flexible. Adjusting as you learn what helps and what doesn’t. Tools like the Thought Stopping Band and the Self-Compassion Break help keep you moving forward without getting stuck in all-or-nothing thinking. Regular check-ins turn these tools into a long-term habit, making it easier to stay on track and make small course corrections along the way.
A Weekly Review & Reset (WRR) bundles your logs from the past seven days. Mood ratings, activity ticks, exposure notes, SMART-goal progress into one 15-minute audit. You’ll spot trends (“anxiety spikes after 10 p.m.”), celebrate wins (✓ streaks), drop dead-weight tasks, and set a one-degree course correction for the week ahead. Research on “reflection-implementation cycles” shows that clients who run a short weekly audit maintain symptom gains up to six months longer than those who only track daily data.
Why just one tweak?
Focused change sticks; multiple tweaks scatter willpower. After two solid WRR cycles you can trial a “two-tweak” version.
What if the whole week was awful?
Find any micro-win (e.g., logged one mood score). Use that as proof you can still act, then pick the tiniest reset tweak.
Can I skip a week while travelling?
Run a “flash WRR” (Steps 1, 4, 6) in 5 minutes. Better than zero.
Can I do a daily mini-review instead?
Yes, but keep the weekly big-picture scan; patterns need several days’ data to pop.
