Detached Mindfulness | Exercises & Metaphors to Improve Your Relationship with Your Thoughts

Detached Mindfulness is essential to Metacognitive Therapy (MCT). It can help us improve our relationship with our thoughts, learning to observe them without engagement and judgement. This is important to reduce overthinking like worry and rumination, which we often see at the core of disorders such as anxiety and depression. However, because Detached Mindfulness can sometimes feel a little abstract and difficult to grasps, especially if you’re new to the practice, it can be helpful to use metaphors to help us understand it. In this video I share some metaphors to help us understand concepts like detached observation, leaving the thoughts alone, and trigger thoughts. We also look at the important difference between suppressing and avoiding our thoughts (like we see as an unhelpful coping strategy as part of Cognitive Attentional Syndrome (CAS)), and not engaging with our thoughts like we see in Detached Mindfulness.
