In this episode, I’m breaking down what overthinking in relationships actually is beneath the surface — and why it has less to do with needing answers and more to do with avoiding vulnerability, honesty, and rejection.

I talk about how people use overthinking as a way to search for certainty instead of expressing their needs, having difficult conversations, or learning how to emotionally regulate themselves through discomfort.

We dive into:

Why anxious attachment creates cycles of obsession and fear

How overthinking becomes emotional avoidance

The connection between rejection wounds and anxiety

Why people stay stuck searching for reassurance

The deeper beliefs driving relationship anxiety

What actually creates emotional security instead

If you’ve ever felt consumed by someone’s mixed signals, constantly analyzed their behavior, or struggled to communicate your needs directly, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening underneath the anxiety.
