Resource Inventory

This directive is indicated for clients who demonstrate a persistent negative self-concept, particularly when facing setbacks or new demands. It is well-suited for individuals who habitually discount their successes or feel defined by their perceived failures, leading to diminished confidence and motivation. The worksheet provides a structured method for collecting evidence to the contrary.

The exercise prompts a systematic inventory of internal resources. By externalizing and cataloging these personal assets, the client develops a tangible reference point to challenge distorted cognitions. This process interrupts cycles of self-criticism and reinforces a more balanced, evidence-based view of their own competence. It is a foundational tool for building self-efficacy and resilience.
