Best for: catastrophising and worst-case thinking
This 21-Day Anxiety session works with catastrophic thinking — the mind's habit of jumping ahead and rehearsing disasters that haven't happened. Through a quiet projector image, you'll learn to separate the mechanism of thought from the content of the thoughts themselves. The practice draws on cognitive defusion, helping you watch anxious predictions pass without mistaking them for facts. By the end, the reel keeps playing, but you're no longer trapped inside it.
When the Mind Jumps Ahead is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the 21-day anxiety collection.
