Description
We've all been there. Thoughts cycles around in our heads, and the anxiety in our bodies rises. Despite all attempts at distraction or trying to stop the negative thoughts, overthinking seems to come back-often in an even stronger form. Overthinking and Anxiety is one of the most common problems people face, and it can steal time and energy from other activities that would bring us more happiness. In this lesson, you will learn several techniques to help stop overthinking and manage Anxiety. To develop this lesson, I've drawn from some of the most well-researched psychological theories, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Self-compassion Therapy.What is overthinking?Overthinking can be described as a chain of thoughts that constantly circulate in our minds, where the brain tries to influence, predict, change, or prepare for something that is either upcoming or has already happened. It's like a broken record, playing over and over again.The problem with overthinking is that we can't escape our thoughts. Sooner or later, we must confront the negative thoughts that cause our anxiety. The fact that you've clicked on this course is the first step toward stopping overthinking and manage anxiety-so I will do my best to teach you the best strategies to break negative thought patterns and, as a result, live a happier life!In this course, you will learn:What overthinking is and why your brain so easily gets caught up in it. You'll get a comprehensive understanding of why we overthink and the neuroscience behind it.How overthinking works. Getting stuck in overthinking is no coincidence; it is driven by our thought patterns. By becoming aware of different types of thoughts and what fuels overthinking, we can also break the endless loop!You will also learn four practical strategies, with several exercises, that you can use to stop overthinking and manage anxiety:Stop comforting thoughts - A technique based on our understanding of how overthinking works, designed to break the natural tendency to overthink. Cognitive Restructuring - This technique, rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, has been used for many years by psychologists to restructure our thought content. By learning about common cognitive traps and how we can question the accuracy of our thoughts, we can gain new perspectives that can help break the cycle of overthinking.Cognitive Defusion - One of the most widely-used techniques for reducing the impact of negative thoughts on us and our anxiety. Personally, this is one of the most important lessons I've learned as a psychology student. This technique originates from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a relatively new theory with strong research support!Self-Compassion - Do you often have negative thoughts about yourself? Do you feel like you would benefit from being a little kinder to yourself and, in turn, becoming your own biggest supporter? If so, Self-Compassion is for you! With this technique, we will practice Self-kindness and treating ourselves with the same kindness we often show to those we love.By choosing one of these techniques and practicing it, I've found that many people can reduce overthinking and live a happier life with less anxiety, worry, and sadness. If this sounds interesting to you, I warmly welcome you to join me in this course and learn everything you need to know to stop overthinking!
