CBT|ACT: Tinted Sunglasses & Reflect | Never Mind Your Mind

This session is rooted in Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evolution of traditional CBT that integrates mindfulness and psychological flexibility. Within this framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps us unhook from unhelpful thought patterns and engage more fully with life.

The Tinted Sunglasses metaphor reveals how our thoughts act as filters that color our perception of the world. Whether they brighten our day or cast a shadow. Through reflection and practice, we explore how acknowledging these lenses—without letting them define us—can cultivate greater freedom. The session concludes with a grounding affirmation, empowering us to step forward with clarity and intention.

Reviews

I am aware that my reviews over the past few months have been different due to my physical situation. Although a lot better, I continue to have intermittent nausea. I began today with positivity, wearing yellow tinted glasses that made the world a joyous place but as time passed and I became tired, these glasses slipped. My physical state took over, the world shrank and I couldn’t fight my way out of it. I know the beautiful world is out there but I can’t reach it. I am struggling, trying to rationalise the difference between thoughts and physical sensations and understand how much power I have to overcome physical pain.
