Best for: racing thoughts and mental spiralling
This session teaches a quiet but powerful move: noticing thoughts without becoming them. You'll practise the shift from standing inside the storm to watching it through a window — a defusion technique that loosens anxiety's grip without requiring you to argue with what your mind is saying. Same thoughts, different relationship. A skill you can carry into any moment of the day.
Stepping Back from Thought is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the 21-day anxiety collection.
