MEDITATION
A few quiet minutes with words and breath
Try an optional Morning Affirmation or an evening 4-7-8 breathing guide at your own pace. Audio begins only after you press play.
4-7-8 BreathingEight guided cycles
A gentle guide with background music: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8 across 8 cycles.
Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, short of breath, or uncomfortable.
Use gently. Keep the volume low and do not listen while driving or operating machinery. Stop whenever the audio or breathing feels uncomfortable. This is not medical care or emergency support.
APPROACHES
Four conversation approaches and tips for getting started
Explore what each approach offers and how to respond. Choose a starting point that feels comfortable, at your own pace.
An example of Socratic questioning
- You
I feel like everyone dislikes me.
- Toru
What did you actually see or hear?
- You
A colleague did not reply.
This fictional exchange shows a starting point for separating thoughts from facts. Questions and outcomes vary with each conversation.
Flexible dialogue
- What you can explore
- Explore options such as thought records, defusion, or boundaries based on what is troubling you, and try a technique you choose together.
- Tips for the conversation
- Share as much as you feel comfortable sharing. You can talk freely without a technique, or finish by resting without deciding on an action.
Cognitive defusion
- What you can explore
- Practice viewing a persistent thought as an object or a word card, from a comfortable distance, without trying to erase it.
- Tips for the conversation
- Describe any sensations or sense of distance rather than debating whether the thought is true. It is okay if you cannot picture it, do not want to try, or notice no change. Thoughts and discomfort do not have to disappear.
Socratic questioning
- What you can explore
- Separate facts from interpretations and explore other possibilities through questions when assumptions or all-or-nothing thinking take over.
- Tips for the conversation
- Answer one question at a time with what you saw or heard, or another perspective that comes to mind. Share what you know; “I’m not sure” is an answer too.
Task separation
- What you can explore
- Sort out the boundary between what you cannot decide alone, such as someone else’s reaction or opinion, and the responses or choices you can make.
- Tips for the conversation
- Explore one response you can choose at a time. This does not mean abandoning consideration for others or responsibilities you need to fulfill.
