Vicious Circle
This tool generates a vicious circle diagram for the patient. It guides the patient through five questions about the situation, thoughts, emotions, behavior, and consequences. By providing these answers, the patient and the therapist can visually map the interactions between these different elements, helping to identify and change problematic thought and behavior patterns.
