Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions introduces 'anxiety surfing' as a strategy to manage overwhelming feelings by allowing them to rise and fall naturally rather than fighting them. It explains how avoidance and safety behaviors can perpetuate anxiety long-term and outlines five steps for practice: acknowledging, observing, accepting, remaining in the situation, and being patient. The resource also suggests using coping imagery and emphasizes that consistent practice helps reduce sensitivity to anxiety over time.
