You replay a conversation from hours ago. You run ten scenarios before sleep. You analyse every decision until you're paralysed. Overthinking doesn't make you more prepared; it leaves you exhausted.
Over-analysis gives an illusion of control: «if I think about it enough, I'll stay ahead of it». In practice, you circle the same loop and feed anxiety instead of resolving it. The aim isn't to stop thinking, but to stop getting trapped in your thoughts.
In therapy you learn to tell when a thought is useful and when it's a trap, to step back from the inner noise and return to the present and to action — with evidence-based techniques tailored to you.
