If you are working to manage anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty regulating stress, consistent tracking of your symptoms and coping strategies is one of the most effective ways to create meaningful change. This Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) progress tracking worksheet is designed to help you monitor daily anxiety levels, sleep, focus, and racing thoughts while also tracking your use of evidence-based DBT skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By combining symptom awareness with structured skill application, this tool helps you better understand how your brain and body respond to stress and how your efforts directly improve emotional stability. This printable, self-scoring worksheet also generates a clinical-style summary, making it ideal for both personal use and therapy sessions. Over time, this process builds self-awareness, strengthens coping skills, and supports long-term emotional regulation and resilience.
