Part One: I-CBT explains inferential confusion, the feared-self theme, and reality-sensing steps that help you spot when imagination is posing as fact. Part Two: ACT teaches defusion, values, and committed action so you can change how you relate to sticky thoughts without arguing with them. Side-by-Side Tools: clear checklists to decide when to use I-CBT dismantling and when to use ACT defusion, plus sample scripts, tracking sheets, and relapse-prevention plans. Everyday Examples: contamination, checking, harm doubts, relationship doubts, and not-just-right sensations, with practical exercises you can try at your own pace. By the end, you'll have a simple method to choose the right tool for the moment: dismantle doubtful stories with I-CBT or defuse sticky thoughts with ACT-then return to meaningful action.
