Episode 220- Catastrophising Thoughts and Their Effect on Mental Health

from Counselling Conversations with Julie · host Julie Thomas

Today, we’re tackling a topic that many of us can relate to but might not even realise we’re doing, catastrophising. You know, those moments when your mind spirals into worst-case scenarios, turning a small worry into a full-blown disaster in your head. Sound familiar?   In this episode, we’ll explore what catastrophising really is, why our brains are wired to think this way, and most importantly, how it impacts our mental health. We’ll also share actionable strategies that may help you break free from this cycle of negative thinking and regain control over your thoughts.   So, whether you’re someone who constantly worries about the ‘what-ifs’ or you’re just curious about how to manage stress and anxiety better, this episode is for you. Grab a cuppa, find a cosy spot, and let’s dive in.  Thank you for joining me today.
