Description

Journey from a closet in your home to a magical place where worries are drained of their power! In this guided visualization, you’ll learn two thought defusion techniques derived from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

The first technique involves seeing your problem from a great height, where it appears much less significant and more workable. The second involves throwing your worry into a fire and then watching as it burns and breaks down into ashes, encouraging a sense of relief and satisfaction.

This tool also features an immersive story that evokes mystery and awe.

Suggested Uses

Education: Visualization is a powerful tool for lowering anxiety and making difficult emotions more manageable. The two integrated ACT techniques help put worries into perspective, loosening their hold.

Practice: Use this exercise for coping with anxiety, emotional grounding, and psychological flexibility.
