Non-Resistance Awareness Therapy (NR-AT)

Non-Resistance Awareness Therapy (NR-AT) is a process-based psychotherapy that targets experiential avoidance and struggle by training sustained, non-reactive awareness of internal experience and deliberate disengagement from resistance behaviors, while supporting values-consistent action in the presence of distress.

“Life does not require the removal of discomfort — only the willingness to coexist with it while continuing forward.”

Most advice teaches:

Get rid of the anxiety.

But modern clinical science is clear:

Trying to eliminate anxiety teaches the brain that anxiety is dangerous.

The paradox is: You beat anxiety by no longer trying to beat it.

When your brain sees:

· “I can feel anxiety and still be okay,” it stops sounding the alarm.
