Be Your Own Therapist: Tools to Boost Mood & Reduce Anxiety with Owen O’Kane

In this episode of The Happier Life Project, psychotherapist and best-selling author Owen O'Kane, explores with host Gabby how to better understand and manage the mind in everyday life. Known for his transformative books, including Ten to Zen, Ten Times Happier, How to Be Your Own Therapist and Addicted to Anxiety, Owen shares practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and other common mental health challenges. With over 25 years of experience, including his work as a former NHS Mental Health Clinical Lead, Owen brings a wealth of clinical insight and grounded, accessible advice to this conversation. Drawing on his book How to Be Your Own Therapist: Boost Your Mood and Reduce Your Anxiety in 10 Minutes a Day, Owen offers simple, practical tools designed to help reduce overthinking, ease emotional overwhelm, and build a healthier relationship with your thoughts. Rather than positioning therapy as something out of reach, this episode explores how small, consistent every day practices can bring therapeutic tools into everyday life - helping listeners respond to themselves with more clarity, calm, and self-understanding. Tune in to learn how to unlock better mental health and continue your journey toward a calmer, healthier, and more balanced life.
