Steady - One small thought at a time.

Each letter you’re about to receive teaches one skill, drawn from the psychological approaches used in modern clinical care — cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), DBT skills, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and behavioural activation.

Every skill is explained step by step, in plain English, with a five-minute practice you can try the same day. Every practice comes with a plain note on when not to try it. From time to time, a "wisdom issue" looks at what classic writers got right about living well — reflection, not protocol.

What Steady is not. It is not therapy, not diagnosis, and not a substitute for professional care. It teaches skills; it never promises outcomes. If professional support is available to you, we will always encourage it.

How it is written. Steady is an open workshop: AI is used in researching and drafting this newsletter, under human direction and review. We say so plainly, because you deserve to know how the words you read are made.
