Overthinking
Are You Overwhelmed by Constant Thoughts and Worries?
Do you find yourself constantly analyzing, questioning, and worrying about every decision or interaction? Do you lie awake at night, your mind churning with endless "what ifs" and worst-case scenarios? If so, you're not alone. Overthinking is a common struggle for many high-achieving, ambitious individuals.
While a busy mind can sometimes be an asset, chronic overthinking can leave you feeling anxious, paralyzed, and exhausted. The good news is that therapy can help you find relief from the constant mental chatter and discover a clearer, calmer way of being.
The Pitfalls of Overthinking
Overthinking can show up in many ways, all of which can take a toll on your well-being:
Analysis paralysis: Overanalyzing every decision can lead to indecision and inaction, holding you back from moving forward.
Rumination: Dwelling on past mistakes or worries about the future can keep you stuck in a negative cycle of thoughts.
Self-doubt: Constantly second-guessing yourself can erode your confidence and self-trust.
Anxiety and stress: The non-stop mental chatter can fuel anxiety and stress, leaving you feeling on edge and overwhelmed.

In our work together, we'll use evidence-based strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness to help you:
Gain distance from your thoughts: Learn to observe your thoughts without getting caught up in them, creating space for clarity and calm.
Cultivate present-moment awareness: Discover how to anchor yourself in the present moment, rather than getting lost in mental rumination.
Challenge unproductive thoughts: Identify and reframe the thoughts that fuel your overthinking, developing a more balanced, helpful perspective.
Take values-aligned action: Clarify what truly matters to you and learn to take action based on your values, rather than getting stuck in indecision.
