Online Anxiety Therapy U.K.
Anxiety is not weakness and it is not a failure of resilience. It is important to mention this straight up and it is not a flaw in character. Anxiety is a nervous system attempting to protect you — sometimes too intensely and for too long. It is a form of a maladjusted ‘protective’ system that is working to keep you safe, but doing so in a manner that is negatively intruding into your life and your opportunities to have new life experiences. Across the UK, anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health concerns.
Mindfulness – a term much used but little understood in our lives.
Mindfulness when practised on a daily basis should give us the mental space to be able to step back and reflect. This means that it gives us the space to be able to choose how we respond to a situation.

Disengaging from Rumination – Some Helpful Tips
This article highlights the unhelpful process of rumination that so many people go through to try and 'solve an issue'. The fact is that rumination does not problem solve and its repeated use as a mechanism to do so simply leads the body into a ruminative behavioural cycle that can, over time, become the norm. So a 'triggering thought' can lead someone who has ruminated for many years, to simply follow the same ruminative pathway since it feels like the 'normal' thing to do. For many, this starts to encroach on their mental space, their anxiety and their lives. This article highlights some potentially useful techniques that may change your relationship to rumination and thereby drop this as a mechanism when triggered or when experiencing unhelpful thoughts.
