Lesson Plan

Mind Unhooked Lesson Plan

Participants will learn to notice when they’re cognitively fused with unhelpful thoughts and practice at least two art-based ACT defusion techniques to boost mental flexibility and reduce stress in adult contexts.

Adults often get bogged down by self-criticism or work/personal stressors. Cognitive defusion exercises help break mental rigidity, foster resilience, and support emotional well-being.
