Lessons in Overthinking & Obsessing

Understanding self-esteem and recognising if you’re anxiety is related to low self-worth

In this episode we will spend some quality time breaking down the most common signs of low self-esteem using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale which is a trusted psychological tool for measuring a person’s overall self-esteem

Recognising low self-esteem is important because it helps you understand the root of how you think, feel, and behave. When you become aware of whether your self-esteem is strong, shaky, or inconsistent, you can start to understand why you react the way you do - why certain situations trigger you, why you feel anxious or stuck, or why certain patterns keep repeating - we need that if we want to change and strengthen self esteem

I am Carly Ann, and I’m on a mission to bring the wisdom of therapy beyond the couch — helping people grow, connect, and thrive in life and love. This is not a replacement for therapy, but a space where you can learn practical tools, gain insight, and feel supported as you navigate life from your old self to your new self

We break down the common mindset pattern that shows up in the therapy room over and over again - it  fuels shame, anxiety, and low self-worth - the subtle thinking style that convinces you you’re always behind, always falling short, and never quite “enough.” If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or constantly judging yourself, this episode will help you understand why.

If you have goals, dreams, or even the desire to feel better in your own life, you need to stop falling into this trap. You’ll learn how this unhelpful thinking pattern shows up in everyday moments, and you’ll hear a real example of someone who broke free from it.

You’ll walk away with a powerful cognitive reframe and guided prompts to help you reflect on your own day-to-day life - so you can interrupt this mindset and replace it with something grounded, compassionate, and truly empowering.

If you’re tired of feeling not enough, stuck, or weighed down by who you think you “should” be, this episode is for you, listen today

Getting triggered over and over can be exhausting. It is frustrating when you can't control your reaction to the same trigger. If your triggers have been running the show lately, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into what it means to be triggered. I’ll walk you through four key pieces of psychoeducation that will completely change the way you see your triggers. This is what I always want my client to take-away. 

Think of this episode as a therapy session for your triggers - one that helps you move from “I can’t believe I did that again” to “Ah, this is how I can move forward”

Believe it or not, when you can meet your triggers with curiosity instead of criticism, you stop living in reaction mode and start feeling safe inside yourself again.

Do you find yourself endlessly waiting for a text, replaying conversations, or worrying about whether you upset someone? That’s your anxiety showing up and it usually means you’re stuck in old patterns instead of truly feeling your emotions.

We act out as a way to feel better, and it often makes you feel worse
In this episode, I’ll explain what it really means to feel your feelings and why sitting with them is so important for breaking anxious cycles. I’ll give examples that anxious attachers commonly experience, like waiting for messages, overthinking interactions, or catastrophising about someone pulling away.

You’ll also get a practical checklist you can use to pause, notice, and work with your feelings in the moment, so you can respond to life instead of reacting out of habit.

This episode is for anyone ready to stop letting old patterns control their heart, and start learning how to feel without fear.
