You are not overthinking because something is wrong with you. Psychology explains that overthinking is actually your brain trying to protect you... and once you understand exactly why it does it, the whole cycle starts to make a lot more sense. In this video we break down the real reason your brain gets stuck in loops, why thinking more never actually creates the certainty you're looking for, and the one thing that quietly keeps the overthinking cycle going that most people never realize.
