Episode #40: Feelings Matter, Overthinking Doesn’t

In this episode, I'm challenging our culture's obsession with emotional analysis that might actually be keeping you stuck. While understanding our feelings is important, I explain why constantly dwelling on emotions can transform what should be a passing breeze into a destructive storm. I'll walk you through: ✅ Why therapy and self-help books are valuable—but not always the complete answer ✅ How to recognize when you're trapped in an "endless loop of self-examination" ✅ The importance of managing emotions rather than just feeling them ✅ Why thinking less about yourself and more about others can be transformative ✅ Practical ways to get off the "hamster wheel" of anxiety and overthinking Whether you're struggling with relationship conflicts, perpetual problems with your partner, or just finding yourself stuck in your own head, this episode offers a perspective that might be exactly what you need to move forward. Sometimes the path to happiness isn't through more analysis—it's through action and shifting your focus. 🔔 Remember: While I encourage you to "get over yourself" in the kindest way possible, consistent therapy can be life-changing when you're truly stuck. Build that relationship with your therapist, be communicative about your needs, and create the consistency that leads to real change.
