Mental freedom is about not being controlled by your own thoughts and feelings, and instead observing them without judgement. It is about choosing a life directed by your values, rather than being dictated by your anxiety or depression. An anxiety coach helps individuals to develop mental freedom by using a range of tools and strategies, including mindfulness, acceptance, defusion and value clarification. By working with an anxiety coach, individuals can expect to experience a reduction in avoidance and an increase in self-compassion and resilience. They can also begin to move towards a more meaningful life. The postEnhancing Mental Health Through Mental Freedom: The Role of an Anxiety Coach appeared first onJohn Nolan Anxiety Coach.
