Best for: racing worries and worst-case thinking
Catastrophising at Speed addresses the mind's tendency to travel from a small trigger to the darkest possible outcome in seconds. Through quiet noticing rather than argument, you'll practise recognising the moment thought accelerates and learn to stand still within it. The technique is one of attention and pacing — not silencing the thinking, not disputing where it lands, but slowing the journey itself. A practice for anyone whose worries arrive already at full speed.
Catastrophising at Speed is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the anxiety collection.
