Have you ever noticed how one unanswered text or moment of silence can send your mind into overthinking? In this episode, we break down how the brain creates stories, assumptions, and meanings when information is missing and why those stories often trigger anxiety, emotional reactions, and self-doubt.
We explore self-concept, nervous system responses, intuition vs anxiety, and how past experiences shape present-day thinking especially in dating and relationships. You’ll learn how to question mental stories, regulate emotional reactions, and consciously choose thoughts that support confidence, calm, and emotional safety.
If you struggle with overthinking, assumptions, people-pleasing, or anxious attachment, this episode will help you understand your mind and take your power back.
