Overthinking can feel like a relentless loop — replaying conversations, imagining worst-case scenarios, second-guessing every decision. For many of us, it’s not just a habit. It’s how we’ve learned to feel safe in a world that hasn’t always felt safe to us.
Breaking Free from Overthinking is a trauma-informed, self-paced course designed to help you understand where your overthinking comes from, how it functions in your life, and — most importantly — how to gently shift it.
This isn’t about “stopping your thoughts” or forcing positivity. It’s about creating a new relationship with your inner voice — one rooted in self-awareness, compassion, and choice.
Overthinking is not a flaw — it’s a survival response. This lesson explores how overthinking grows like a
tree from early emotional experiences, creating patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt.
You’ll learn how to map your own mental tree, recognize its roots, and begin the process of
self-awareness and compassion.
Overthinking doesn’t appear out of nowhere — it grows from the unseen soil of our past. These roots
often develop from early experiences of feeling unsafe, unseen, or not good enough. This lesson explores
how overthinking patterns originate and how we can begin gently untangling them.
This lesson helps learners recognize spirals of overthinking in the moment and apply a powerful 4-step strategy: Pause and Breathe, Name the Pattern, Shift Perspective, and Redirect. These steps interrupt mental loops and build emotional resilience.
Grounding is the antidote to spiraling. In this lesson, learners explore how daily practices — like breathwork, gratitude, and self-soothing — help stabilize emotions and reduce mental clutter.
