What is the Anger Thermometer worksheet?
The anger thermometer worksheet is a single illustrated page with four bands: CALM, Mildly Annoyed, Higher Anger and Explosive Anger. Each band above calm carries a short description, from feeling tense to having lost control. Beside every band the client writes ‘I feel this way when’ and ‘I can calm down by’.
How to use the Anger Thermometer worksheet
Use this sheet both in session and as homework. In session, fill the bands from the bottom up, since a client who starts at Explosive Anger has nothing left to compare it with. Ask for one real incident under ‘I feel this way when’ at each level, not a category such as disrespect. Your clients can add to ‘I can calm down by’ during the week, keeping each entry tied to its own band. What works at Mildly Annoyed rarely works further up.
Anger Thermometer Worksheet Download – What’s Included
The download is one printable page, not fillable. A thermometer graphic runs from CALM through Mildly Annoyed and Higher Anger to Explosive Anger. The three bands above calm carry their own description of what that level feels like in the body. Two writing lines sit beside every band, one for the trigger and one for the client’s own way of settling.
Mentalyc writes the note for you, including the homework you assigned.
