About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of obsessive thinking and its connection to anxiety and control.

We all do it, and we all want to stop but it’s hard. What starts as a habit quickly becomes an addiction. In reality, obsessive thinking is rarely about the subject of your focus; it’s about the illusion of control. Whether you’re ruminating on a relationship, a past mistake, or the unknown, you are simply using these thoughts as a defense mechanism to manage your anxiety.
