272. Detaching From Anxious Thoughts: A CBT Skill That Calms the Mind

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your thoughts-overanalyzing, spiraling, or assuming every anxious thought must mean something...this episode is for you. The Chicks are breaking down one of the most important CBT skills for anxiety: learning to detach from your thoughts instead of believing them. You’ll learn how to observe your thoughts as mental events—not facts—and how this shift alone can reduce anxiety, rumination, and emotional overwhelm. This isn’t about stopping thoughts or “thinking positively.” It’s about learning how to change your relationship with your thoughts so they have less power over your nervous system.
