Cognitive Defusion: Dealing with Unhelpful Thoughts
Nov 14, 2024

Cognitive fusion describes our tendency to get ‘fused’ with, tangled up in, or caught up with our thoughts. When we’re fused, we have no perspective on our thoughts, experience our lives through our thoughts and our thoughts control our behaviour.
Defusion helps us to let go of unhelpful thoughts so we can choose to act in more productive ways.

Properly good read from start to finish, and it held my attention the whole way through. The tone stays warm without ever tipping into waffle, which makes the whole thing easy to follow. I have bookmarked it so I can come back when I have a quiet moment. Thanks for putting something this well organised out there.
The content is clear and well articulated on all the main points. I found the way the different aspects are connected useful. I saved this text so I can reread it in the future when I need it. It is an article that stands out for the quality of the information presented.
