28. How to Stop Spiraling: Getting Grounded When Anxiety Takes Over


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a thought loop—rehashing the same scenarios, worries, or “what ifs” over and over again? In this episode of The Parenting Lab, we’re talking about why our thoughts spiral out of control and what you can do to stop it.

You’ll learn:

  • Why spiraling happens in the brain and nervous system

  • How thought loops keep us stuck in shame and anxiety

  • Three practical steps to break free: looking for patterns, looking for evidence, and looking for alignment

If you’ve ever replayed an argument in your head, questioned whether you’re a “good parent,” or spiraled into worst-case thinking at 2 a.m., this conversation will give you tools to calm your mind and come back to clarity.
