Run the Experiment

12 min

Best for: testing anxious beliefs and assumptions

Every anxious belief carries a hidden prediction about the world, and most go unchecked for years. In this session you'll borrow the simplest move from cognitive behavioural therapy: the behavioural experiment. Rather than debating the thought or talking yourself out of it, you'll design one small, concrete way to observe what actually happens. You'll leave with a practical method you can reuse whenever a worry insists it already knows the outcome.

Warm, low, unhurried

Warm and unhurried, with a low steady ease, the slow exhale at the end of a long day.
