Trauma and anxiety can often be linked to a few recurring thoughts, particularly those that arise from within. They can be a struggle to fight — the more you try to suppress them, the worse they become. This episode uses a metaphor to help you detach yourself from these thoughts, using an acknowledged technique called 'Acceptance and Commitment Therapy' (ACT) in order to help minimise such intrusive/unpleasant thoughts.

Building confidence to deal with interviews and applications for promotion can be challenging when potential role models appear boastful or arrogant — behaviour one might not want to copy. So it can be useful to seek out an example of someone who not only has the necessary confidence but also the characteristics one might wish to emulate. This approach is known as a circle of excellence or, as Adam Cox describes it, a cylinder of confidence.
