🎙 Part 1 of 5 in the Visual Thinking for Wellbeing Series

Episode 19: Resetting the Stressed out Brain

When the pressure piles up and your brain feels like it’s short-circuiting, how do you find clarity? 

In this episode, the first in a five-part series on visual thinking for wellbeing, we explore what happens in the brain when stress takes over and how simple drawing strategies can help you reset.

We’ll look at:

  • What neuroscience tells us about overwhelm
  • Why visuals offer a shortcut to calm and clarity
  • Three simple sketches you can do (no drawing skills needed!)

Whether you’re a student feeling stuck, or someone who just needs a mental breather, this episode offers a pen-and-paper lifeline when your brain’s had enough.

We all need a rethink once in a while, so why not start today?
