Leigh is an Australian Psychologist and founder of Therapy in Barcelona. Here she offers you a brief exercise for stepping back from upsetting or unuseful thoughts in times of stress (like now!). This is a cognitive defusion technique, designed to help us be less over identified with our thoughts.

Welcome to our Therapy in Barcelona series of videos to help you cope well and manage your emotional and mental wellbeing in this time of Covid-19.

Every day or so, you will hear from one of our collaborating therapists at Therapy in Barcelona on ways to stay calm, resilient, and well during this challenging time.
