Topics include: Why the brain loves repeating negative thoughts The role of your default mode network in overthinking How to interrupt obsessive mental loops in real time Cognitive strategies to move on and reclaim your peace Simple tools to manage regret, self-blame, and “what if” thinking If you’ve ever laid awake at night overanalysing a conversation or can’t seem to let go of something that already happened, this episode is MADE for you.
