The Psychology of People Who Are Overthinking

We all know what it feels like to be exhausted in bed while our mind refuses to rest.
Replaying old conversations. Rewriting moments that have already passed. Preparing for conflicts that may never happen.
For many people, this isn’t just a habit—it’s a survival strategy that once kept them safe, but now keeps them stuck.

This video explores the deep psychology behind overthinking:
why the mind spirals, why uncertainty feels unbearable, and why the very mechanism you developed to feel safe has become the source of your suffering.

You’ll learn:

🔹 What overthinking really is (not “thinking too much,” but a psychological loop called rumination)
🔹 How the Default Mode Network in the brain fuels constant self-monitoring
🔹 Why uncertainty triggers compulsive analyzing and prediction
🔹 How childhood environments shape lifelong mental vigilance
🔹 How overthinking affects relationships, work, decisions, and self-worth
🔹 Why emotional exhaustion and numbness become the silent companions of chronic rumination
🔹 Practical steps to gently break the cycle—not by force, but through awareness, somatic grounding, reframing, and self-compassion

This video is not just analysis—it's a guide toward understanding your own mind with more kindness and clarity.

If you’ve ever felt:
• “I can’t switch my mind off.”
• “I replay moments for days.”
• “I worry because I care.”
• “I feel responsible for predicting everything.”
…then this video is for you.

Remember:
You are not broken.
You are not “too much.”
Your mind learned to protect you the only way it knew how.
Now, you’re learning a softer way—one that leads to presence, peace, and trust.
