In this article, we explore the power of analogies in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), focusing on the spotlight analogy. This analogy helps us understand how our attention to intrusive thoughts magnifies their impact, and how shifting focus to the present moment using techniques from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness can reduce anxiety. We provide a practical example of how this approach helps us manage fear and worry, empowering us to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Navigating through the maze of self-doubt requires more than just willpower; it demands a strategic approach informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Learn to dismantle the barriers of self-doubt through expressive writing, self-compassion, mindfulness, and behavioural experiments—all while aligning your actions with your core values. Embrace this journey of self-discovery and resilience with our expert strategies, and step into a life marked by confidence and self-acceptance.
How can Acceptance & commitment therapy help me move in the right direction?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses and teaches mindfulness and acceptance strategies that help people develop psychological flexibility.
This therapy is not intended to change unwanted experiences, but instead, it teaches people to develop a mindful relationship with them.
ACT is a model many of our therapists are trained and experienced in. Here we explore 6 key components of ACT and how they can help you get back on track towards the life you want and deserve.
