Stop the Spiral When Your Mind Won't Stop

from DOUBLE TAKE: Navigating Life's Second Act · host Tanya Powell and Tami Brittenham

Does your mind ever jump straight to the worst-case scenario the moment something feels uncertain? We get it—and you're definitely not alone. In this episode, we're talking about catastrophizing, that sneaky mental habit that turns small worries into full-blown disasters before anything has actually happened. We dig into how anxiety hijacks your nervous system, creating those exhausting cycles of fear and overwhelm. But here's the good news--we're sharing practical, tried-and-true strategies to interrupt these patterns and get back to right now. From real-time nervous system resets to mindfulness practices that actually stick, we cover what works when your brain wants to spiral.
