76. Breaking the Cycle of Overthinking
About this episode
The episode discusses overthinking as a protection strategy and offers practical ways to manage it.
What if overthinking is not a weakness, but a protection strategy? In this week's episode of The Language of Behavior , Josh and Charle talk about rumination, overthinking, and why so many people get stuck in thought loops when they are trying to protect themselves from uncertainty. The conversation explores how overthinking often shows up as a way to fill in blanks with worst case scenarios, especially in leadership, parenting, and education. Josh and Charle also share practical ways to interrupt the spiral by focusing on facts, narrowing the next step, and using the circle of control to reduce overwhelm. If you have ever watched your mind create a problem before it actually exists, this episode will hit home. -- FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudy Bulk Book Discount: https://www.connectedd.org/bulk-orders Do you have any questions for the podcast?
