Defusion - Allowing Thoughts to Come and Go

Welcome to another instalment of Psychology Skill of the Week with school psychologist Dr Carla Humphrys.
This week Dr Humphrys talks about another Defusion technique - Allowing thoughts to come and go.
Remember, these techniques are not designed to get rid of unwanted thoughts or remove your feelings. For those that like visualization this video offers ways to assist you with observing thoughts with openness and curiosity, while watching them come and go and not judging them, holding onto them or pushing them away.
