This worksheet helps clients and therapists map personalized early warning signs so changes are recognized sooner and addressed proactively. Clients review common signs, check what they’ve experienced before, and then circle or write the 3–5 earliest and most reliable indicators for them. The map covers both “high/elevated” signs and “low/depressive” signs, supporting clearer self-awareness and more timely intervention. Use it for relapse prevention, maintenance planning, and creating a concrete action plan when early signs appear.

Best for

• Relapse prevention and maintenance phases

• Clients with recurring mood episodes or predictable patterns

• Building an early-intervention plan based on personal signals
