Episode 2 - Masterclass: Unhooking Yourself from Unhelpful Thoughts with Dr. Russ Harris
You don't have to win the argument with your brain. You just have to stop letting it drive.
Who it's for
Harris is one of the best-known trainers in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the episode centres on its unhooking idea (cognitive defusion): noticing a thought as a thought rather than obeying it or arguing with it.
Feelings it meets
What it is
An episode of the Happier Life Project podcast from My Possible Self, hosted by Gabby Sanderson, featuring Dr. Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap.
