Padesky 5 Aspects · Area 1
Where? When? Who with? What happened? How?
💭
Thoughts & Images
Area 2 · Cognitive
What went through my mind? What disturbed me? If I had those thoughts or images — what did that say about me or the situation?
🌊
Moods & Emotions
Area 3 · Affective
What emotion did I feel at that time? What else? Rate the intensity (0–100%).
🫀
Body Sensations
Area 4 · Somatic
What did I notice in my body? What did I feel? Where did I feel it?
Behaviours
Area 5 · Behavioural
What helped me cope? What didn't I do, or what did I avoid? What automatic reactions did I have? What would others have seen me doing?
