A Mind You Don't Have to Believe
Best for: anxious thoughts and rumination
This session uses the image of a background radio, always murmuring, rarely true, to help you loosen anxiety's grip on your attention. You'll practise noticing the mind's commentary as sound rather than fact, creating a small but vital gap between thought and belief. Drawing on cognitive defusion from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), it offers a gentler relationship with the anxious voice. Suitable for anyone caught in spirals of worry, rumination, or self-criticism.
