Summary

Sabrina shares her journey with overthinking, explaining that it often arises from the brain's attempt to protect us through fear and coping mechanisms learned in childhood. This process involves the amygdala's fear response, which can shut down the prefrontal cortex, causing further overthinking and misinterpreting neutral signals as negative in dating, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy of rejection. To combat overthinking, Sabrina suggests identifying triggers and recognizing patterns, practicing mindfulness, engaging in brain-stimulating activities, and using cognitive behavioral therapy to reframe negative thoughts. She emphasizes validating feelings while learning to trust oneself, noting the difference between overthinking and intuition. Overthinking can cause analysis paralysis, fear of rejection, negative self-talk, unrealistic expectations, and inhibition of spontaneity, eroding self-confidence and preventing authentic interactions. By addressing root causes, fostering self-compassion, and being curious about triggers, individuals can manage overthinking, enjoy relationships, and show up more fully in their lives without constant fear of negative outcomes.
