Ever feel like your responsibilities are too much to carry? Or like your emotions are pulling you under? This guided meditation is inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and focuses on the skill of urge surfing — learning to ride the waves of difficult emotions without being consumed by them. Together, we’ll use the breath, imagery, and mindful awareness to process overwhelm, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with what matters most. Perfect for moments of stress, frustration, or when you’re caught in spirals of “too much.”

✨ What you’ll gain from this practice:

• A safe space to breathe and ground your nervous system
• Tools for observing emotions without judgment
• A gentle ACT-inspired reflection to guide behavior toward your values
• Relief from overwhelm by practicing acceptance and curiosity

This guided meditation is created by Katie McLaughlin, LPCC-S, founder of Cedar Rose Counseling & Wellness—a holistic therapy practice specializing in anxiety treatment for women.

This meditation is rooted in evidence-based practices to help you process emotions leading to stress and overwhelm.
