Urge Surfing Log

Urges peak and fall

TherapistAssist logo

Urges peak and fall like waves — usually inside 20 minutes if you don't feed them. Log a week and the graph teaches you.

Urge 1 — trigger / peak intensity / minutes until settled
Urge 2 — trigger / peak intensity / minutes until settled
Urge 3 — trigger / peak intensity / minutes until settled
Urge 4 — trigger / peak intensity / minutes until settled
What I did instead of acting on it
What I now believe about urges I didn't believe before
