Understanding Overthinking and What To Do About It
Why your mind gets stuck in loops, what keeps overthinking going, and what actually helps
Do you find yourself replaying conversations long after they’ve happened, analysing every possible outcome, or struggling to switch your mind off?
Many people assume they overthink because they haven’t found the right answer yet. If they could just think a little harder, prepare a little more, or find the perfect solution, they’d finally feel calm and certain.
Unfortunately, overthinking rarely works that way.
In this recorded workshop, counsellor Nathan Gurry explores what overthinking is, why it happens, what keeps it going, and practical ways to develop a different relationship with your thoughts. Watch at your own pace and return to the content whenever you need.
What You’ll Learn
Overthinking can look different for everyone, but it often follows similar patterns. In this recorded workshop, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of why overthinking happens, what keeps it going, and why many of the strategies we use to feel more certain can sometimes leave us feeling even more stuck.
Nathan explores practical concepts and strategies to help you better understand your own thinking patterns and develop a different relationship with uncertainty, worry, and mental overwhelm.
Topics covered include:
- What overthinking is and how it differs from healthy reflection and problem solving
- Why the mind becomes stuck in repetitive thinking loops
- The connection between overthinking, anxiety, uncertainty, and overwhelm
- Practical strategies that can help break the cycle and create more mental space
What to Expect
This is a recorded psychoeducational workshop, not a therapy session. The focus is on understanding overthinking, why it happens, and practical ways to respond differently.
Throughout the webinar, Nathan guides viewers through a combination of education, practical examples, visual slides, and strategies that can be applied in everyday life. You’ll also be encouraged to pause and reflect on your own experiences as you watch.
Designed to be practical and accessible, this recording is suitable for anyone wanting a better understanding of overthinking and what can help. Watch at your own pace and revisit the content whenever you need.
Why do we overthink?
Many people assume overthinking happens because they haven’t found the right answer yet.
In reality, overthinking often begins as an attempt to feel safer, more prepared, or more certain. We replay conversations, analyse situations, mentally rehearse future events, and try to predict every possible outcome.
While these strategies can feel helpful in the moment, they often leave us feeling more overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck.
In this recorded workshop, Nathan explores why overthinking develops, what keeps it going, and how you can begin to develop a different relationship with uncertainty and the thoughts that demand so much of your attention.
