About this listen
It is a signal of perceived threat. In this episode, we reframe mental looping as a physiological response rather than a cognitive flaw. When the nervous system feels unsafe, the mind searches endlessly for certainty — not because more thinking is needed, but because pressure is high and safety is low. You’ll explore:
- why anxious thinking increases when stakes feel heavy
- how overanalysis is driven by nervous system activation
- why clarity cannot be forced through logic alone
- how safety, grounding, and reduced urgency restore mental coherence
