Overthinking Counselling

If you are living in the 21st century, you might have come across overthinking problems. Maybe sometimes you find yourself overthinking or must know a friend or a family member who constantly complains about his/her overthinking problem. The world is chaotic and there is no denying the fact that we are constantly bombarded with visual and audio stimuli from our surroundings. With the ease of access to anything at any time, there is surely a vast variety of choices and hence it adds on to the chaos a bit more.

And, how we respond to such stimuli varies from person to person. For some, this energetic and fast life can be a bit overwhelming and this leads to overthinking. In the moments when we find ourselves in situations that are difficult to tolerate or spiralling into panic, our minds just can't stop thinking.

The stream of thoughts feels limitless - and you jump from one thing to another. At the same time, it is very difficult to manage and settle the mind, which in most cases leads to anxiety, addiction, stress, panic, anger and even depression.

And, here your online counselling expert can help you by using different psychotherapies depending on your situation.

Why Do We Overthink?

Overthinking differs from person to person depending on their thoughts, patterns, feelings and ideas. But here are few reasons as to what might trigger overthinking -

• Fear of control - The sheer fear that the situation is uncontrollable leads to us thinking about every possible outcome of gaining control over it.
• The panic - You might panic of indecision - fear of making the wrong choice or decision can be crippling and can lead to overthinking.
• Fear of failure - The inevitable cycle of thinking what if we fail leads to overthinking problems.
• Intellectualising - Sometimes we tend to talk about it rationally. Instead what happens is that we are avoiding the difficult feelings involved, and thereby, extend the process of overthinking.
• Defence Mechanism - When overthinking becomes a means of internal mechanism of defence, we tend to block important and meaningful ideas.

How can counselling reduce overthinking problems?

As we discussed, overthinking is the main cause of anxiety and this feeling can be pervasive and damaging to your physical and mental health. But your online counsellor can help you end the never-ending stream of thoughts and ideas that are both tiring and meaningless. With the help of your psychologist you can think in-depth about your patterns of overthinking. This allows you to know which thought is significant and what is just masking your feelings or experiences.

Your counsellor will help you give equal weight to all ideas, thoughts, and feelings, and values by creating a safe space where overthinking can be examined, discussed and considered carefully and thoughtfully.
