Decision Paralysis: Why You'd Rather Fight a Racoon than Choose a Restaurant

Decision paralysis can leave us feeling stuck, exhausted, and overwhelmed - whether it's changing jobs, ending a relationship, picking a therapist, or deciding what's for dinner.In this episode, we explore the psychology behind indecision, including anxiety, perfectionism, cognitive distortions, and our tendency to wait for a level of certainty that rarely exists. We discuss why avoidance feels good in the moment, how overthinking keeps us trapped, and what it actually takes to move forward when there are no guarantees. Because sometimes the problem isn't making the wrong choice - it's staying stuck long after the choice needs to be made.Join us as we break down decision paralysis, why our brains do it, and how to stop waiting for certainty and start trusting yourself.
