Overthinking is the plight of many of us big feelers - but if it leaves us feeling worse, why do we do it at all? and what might we do instead?

 

Coming up, we chat about:

  • Greys Anatomy as a tool of emotional catharsis
  • Whether rumination is the same as a compulsive behaviour
  • The itchiness of emotionally-charged 2am thoughts
  • How we can mindfully intervene when we’re lured by the siren song of overthinking
