The Three Lies™: A New Framework for Anxiety
Educational resources for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, supervisors, and other mental health professionals interested in anxiety, formulation, emotional regulation, shame, self-concept, and compassionate clinical work.
The Three Lies™ Framework is a proposed, practice-informed formulation heuristic developed by Dr Eileen Higgins. It is not a validated diagnostic model, assessment tool, or standalone treatment.
