  • E3 S2 - The What if Loop

    In this episode of Beyond Anxiety, Jamie and Gill explore one of the most common patterns in anxiety: getting stuck in the endless loop of “what if?” thinking.


    Together, they unpack why the anxious brain so often jumps to worst-case scenarios, how catastrophising is actually a survival mechanism, and why these vivid mental stories can feel so real in the moment.


    Jillian explains what’s happening in the nervous system during fight-or-flight, how the brain’s threat detection system fuels rumination, and why trying to “logic” your way out of anxiety can sometimes make things worse.


    The conversation moves toward a more compassionate and practical shift learning to observe anxious thoughts with curiosity, creating space for “what is” instead of “what if,” and reconnecting with yourself rather than running away from uncomfortable feelings.


    A grounding, insightful episode for anyone navigating anxiety, overthinking, or the mental noise of uncertainty.
