About this episode
This episode offers a guided mindfulness and self-compassion practice aimed at helping overthinkers cultivate a kinder relationship with their thoughts.
Are you an overthinker that gets stuck in your head? Overthinking is often an attempt to protect us. Yet the more we wrestle with our thoughts, the more stuck we can become in cycles of worry, rumination, and self-criticism. In this guided mindfulness and self-compassion practice, you'll have the opportunity to step out of the struggle with your thoughts and cultivate a different relationship with your inner experience. Rather than trying to think your way to relief, you'll be invited to practice awareness, acceptance, and kindness toward yourself. This is an experiential episode, so you can follow along and practice in real time. If overthinking has been taking up too much space in your mind lately, this exercise offers a chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and discover a more compassionate way of responding.
