The Distraction Technique

Sometimes we can feel so overwhelmed by fear, anxiety or desperation that it seems these symptoms will never leave us. By distracting yourself temporarily you will  give your time to focus on other things and take back control of the situation. Here are a few things you can try:

  • Make yourself a soothing cuppa.
  • Go for a walk or a bike ride.
  • Do a word puzzle or colouring.
  • Watch a funny film or series.
  • Take a relaxing bath or invigorating shower.
  • Sing and dance to your favourite music.
  • Do some pilates or yoga.

Even if you have lived with them for many, many years, we can provide the tools and techniques needed to break anxiety-inducing habits and create new ways of thinking.

This programme has been designed to be simple, effective and most importantly life-changing.
