Why do you overthink everything?

Maybe you replay conversations in your head, worry about things that have not happened yet, second-guess your decisions, or feel like your mind never fully shuts off.

In this episode of The Couch, Dr. Juan Santos shares five practical ways to calm an anxious, overthinking mind.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to tell the difference between problem-solving and repetitive worry

• Why the need for certainty can fuel overthinking

• How writing down your thoughts can help create distance

• Why getting out of your head and into your body can be helpful

• How to separate facts from the story your anxiety is telling you
