It's 7 tools taught properly -with the science behind them, worked examples, the exact words to use, and what to do when they fail- plus a practical 30-day plan that turns them into habit: - The brain dump - get the to-dos out of your head and win back your sleep - Defusion - watch your thoughts without being dragged by them - Worry time - give anxiety an appointment and free your day - Anchoring the body - switch off the physical alarm that feeds the loop - Cross-examination - dismantle catastrophic thinking with evidence - Accept and let go - for what has no solution - The anti-rumination ritual - the system that ties it all together With applied chapters for the places it hurts most: relationships, decisions, the night, work, the past, other people's opinions, health, and money.
