Understanding Psychosis Worksheet

Describe a recent episode where you felt disconnected from reality.        

What are your primary symptoms during an episode (e.g., hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking)?        

How do these symptoms affect your daily life (work, relationships, hobbies)?        

What coping strategies have you found helpful during or after an episode?        

Reflect on how your understanding of your condition has changed over time.
