This practice of dropping anchor may help you to connect more fully with the present moment, in times of challenge or distress. This tool may support you to either 'hold steady' until challenging thoughts and feelings have passed, or support you to reconnect with what you are doing in the presence of them. Dropping anchor is commonly used in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and has been adapted from the practice developed by Dr. Russ Harris.
