EP 20 - Catastrophizing: How to Spot & Stop It

In this episode, we explore one of the most common thought patterns behind emotional activation — catastrophizing — those moments when your mind rushes to imagine the worst-case scenario, trying to keep you safe but instead leaving you anxious and tense. Together, we’ll look at why catastrophizing happens, what it costs us emotionally and mentally, and how to move through it with more awareness and compassion — so you can respond to life’s uncertainty with confidence rather than fear.You'll Learn: What catastrophizing is and how it takes hold of your thoughtsWhy your brain defaults to worst-case thinking when you feel unsafe or uncertainThe hidden emotional and physical cost of catastrophizingA simple two-part approach to move through catastrophic thoughts with calm and clarity To join the waitlist for my group coaching program, visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.roxanaakhbari.com/group⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WWW.Roxanaakhbari.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to access my other free coaching resources or to book a free consultation call to explore how we can work together.If you find value in what you hear, the best way to support this podcast is to follow the show wherever you listen, leave a review, and share it with others.
