Behavioral Activation Schedule

Two weeks of mastery, pleasure, connection

TherapistAssist logo

In depression, motivation follows action — not the other way around. This is a two-week behavioral activation schedule: small, values-connected actions done before you feel like it.

Three domains to touch daily
  • Mastery (something small, done)
  • Pleasure (something small, felt)
  • Connection (something small, shared)

Mood 0–10

Do first, feel later

Depression whispers 'wait until you feel like it.' You will not. Action creates mood, not the other way around.
