‘Hands as thoughts and feelings’ exercise – Dr Russ Harris

The “hands as thoughts” metaphor is a powerful tool for understanding rumination and worry. It helps us build awareness around our thoughts and how we relate to them, and it allows us to respond to our thoughts with greater flexibility and agility. By creating distance from our thoughts, we gain a more objective perspective and can take action towards our values and goals. This helps us connect with the world around us, our emotions, and physical experiences, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life.
