Do you ever find yourself replaying that one conversation from three weeks ago… again?
You know, the one where you said that “wrong” thing and now your brain won’t let it go?
You’re lying in bed, exhausted but your mind is still running a marathon of “what ifs” and “why did I say thats?”
You obsess over a tiny mistake… and suddenly it feels like your whole character is on trial.
What if I told you… that relentless mental noise isn’t just overthinking.
But it might be trauma - for example from childhood.
In this video, we’re unpacking the hidden link between complex trauma and overthinking — and how to finally break free from the cycle that’s been hijacking your peace for so long.
