Episode 8
Unhooking from Anxious Thoughts
This episode introduces an exercise to relieve anxiety. When you feel anxious, do you often come across some negative self-talk? These thoughts lead to low mood and make us less motivated. Today, with the music, we imagine this thought as words on a computer screen in your mind. We can change the formatting of the words, the font, the colour. By looking at these negative thoughts from a different perspective, we will learn how to unhook from them and take the power away from these unhelpful thoughts. This unhooking exercise is from the book “The Happiness Trap” by Dr. Russ Harris.
