Overthinking Is Just Emotional Avoidance in Disguise
Ever find yourself stuck in a spiral of overanalyzing, replaying conversations, or trying to “figure out” your feelings? I’ve been there! In this episode, I’m breaking down a truth that changed everything for me: overthinking isn’t a mindset issue. It’s emotional avoidance wrapped in logic.
I’ll walk you through why your brain goes into overdrive, how your nervous system plays a role, and the simple shift that helps you reconnect to what’s actually underneath the spiral. If you’re tired of living in your head, this one’s for you.
In this episode, I cover the following:
1. Why overthinking is a nervous system response, not a personality flaw.
2. How emotional suppression fuels anxiety and mental spirals.
3. Simple first steps to help you pause, feel, and come back to yourself.
