About this resource
This cognitive triangle poster connects “What you think,” “How you feel” and “How you act” for a guided classroom conversation.
The ZIP contains a current arrowed design with a credits page and an older one-page design with connecting lines. The standalone PDF duplicates the older design. Choose one poster to print; the resource is a discussion visual.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the three connected elements of the cognitive triangle: thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Explain that a change in one element (thought, feeling, or action) affects the other two.
Teaching tips
Use the poster as a visual anchor when introducing CBT-based strategies, walking students through a concrete example of how a single thought can change how they feel and then act.
Display the current arrow-labelled version rather than the older text-only version if the visual connection between the three points is the main teaching goal.
Skills covered
Cognitive-triangle reasoning — students connect a thought, feeling, and action to see how changing one affects the others, using the poster's own labelled diagram as the model.
