Bonus Episode: Why Your Brain Won't Let Things Go (And What to Do Instead)

from Your Anxiety Toolkit - Practical Skills for Anxiety, Panic & Depression

Summary: In this episode, I explain why your brain can get stuck replaying thoughts, searching for answers, and trying to feel certain before it can move on. So often, people think they have an overthinking problem, but the real issue is that the brain has learned that solving equals safety. Every time you analyze, replay, or try to "figure it out" to get relief, your brain learns to keep sending you back into the same cycle.
