In this episode of Self-Help Sat Nav, you’ll get special access to a lesson from Openforwards’ membership site, Self-Help School.

One of the hardest things can be turning down your feelings when they get too close. You get stuck with your thoughts. They can overwhelm you and keep you fighting to feel better.

When thoughts get too close, it can feel like you are wading through a swamp. Your work, your relationships and your personal life can suffer. So, in this episode, I’m giving you special access to lesson 10 from our members-only course Fine-Tune your Stress Management Skills.

Sometimes called Cognitive Defusion, unhooking is a process you need skills in to manage your unhelpful thoughts.  Listen to me use defusion techniques on myself and then take them forwards into your life as a way of responding to your own pesky thoughts.
