Overthinking is not a failure of intelligence.
It is a signal of perceived threat. In this episode, we reframe mental looping as a physiological response rather than a cognitive flaw. When the nervous system feels unsafe, the mind searches endlessly for certainty — not because more thinking is needed, but because pressure is high and safety is low. You’ll explore:

• why anxious thinking increases when stakes feel heavy
• how overanalysis is driven by nervous system activation
• why clarity cannot be forced through logic alone
• how safety, grounding, and reduced urgency restore mental coherence

This episode offers a grounded, science-based understanding of why calm minds think clearly — and stressed systems cannot.
