Overthinking

Do you ever replay conversations long after they're over, second-guess your decisions, or spend so much time thinking that you never take action? If so, you're not alone.In this episode of Healing and Shadow Work, Linkie Love (Larneka Lavalais, LPC) and Coach Sheronda L. Barksdale have an honest conversation about overthinking and how it quietly steals our peace, confidence, and momentum. Together, they explore why overthinking happens, how trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, and fear can keep us mentally stuck, and why analysis paralysis makes even simple decisions feel overwhelming.Through personal insight, clinical perspective, and practical encouragement, they discuss how to recognize when thinking has become unproductive, rebuild self-trust, embrace uncertainty, and take the courageous steps necessary for healing and growth. This conversation is a reminder that healing doesn't require perfect certainty—it requires a willingness to move forward despite the unknown.Remember, action creates clarity more often than thinking does. The life you've been praying for isn't on the other side of more thinking—it's on the other side of your next courageous step.Connect with us at www.lavalaislpc.com, subscribe to our channel, and follow @LarnekaL for more conversations on healing, mental wellness, and personal growth.
